The challenge

Graco Baby, a leading brand in the baby products industry, is dedicated to offering quality products and helping shoppers find exactly what they need. Graco had long partnered with CXperts for user research and experimentation.

Qualitative research revealed a problem hiding in plain sight: shoppers comparing infant car seats were faced with a multi-product, grid-based listing page, when what they really needed was guidance.

How CXperts helped

01

Research to find the real problem

CXperts leveraged WEVO, a leading platform in qual and quant UX research, to run a large-scale study with 263 participants on desktop and mobile. The study evaluated Graco’s primary shopping journey and produced 20+ UX recommendations, 13 of which became A/B tests.

02

Design a page that guides, not just lists

Guided by the research, the Graco team designed a new landing page for infant car seats. Instead of a traditional product listing page, it streamlined the lineup from 15 down to 6 core products and added educational content to guide shoppers’ choices.

03

Build it and prove it

CXperts turned the design into a functional page for A/B testing, built the new page from the ground up, and set up the test using redirects to send shoppers to the new car seat landing page.
