Costco has expanded its baby‑care lineup by offering Kudos diapers exclusively through its website.

Shipping is free and delivery takes five to seven business days. Parents can choose from sizes one through six, with the smallest priced at forty‑seven dollars and ninety‑nine cents. The company’s founder, Amrita Saigal, an MIT‑trained engineer, highlighted the brand’s growth and its goal to generate over thirty million dollars in revenue by twenty‑twenty‑six. While the online offering is immediate, Costco has not confirmed plans to stock Kudos in its warehouses.
