Should I use the ID or the full path in my feed?

Both are accepted by Google. Using the numeric ID 568 is often preferred as it is language-independent and less prone to errors.

Can I use the product_type attribute instead of the google_product_category?

No. The product_type attribute is for your internal classification, while google_product_category is mandatory for Google to classify your items correctly within their taxonomy.

What happens if I leave this attribute blank?

Google will attempt to categorize the product automatically. However, this may lead to incorrect classifications, which can negatively impact your product's visibility.

Understanding the Baby Strollers Category (ID: 568)

The Baby Strollers category is a specific classification within the Google Product Taxonomy, designated by the unique numerical ID 568. It falls under the hierarchy of Baby & Toddler > Baby Transport, and it represents the final, most granular level available for wheeled infant and child transportation devices.

What Belongs in This Category

This category is intended for all types of strollers, prams, and pushchairs designed to transport young children. Based on examples from the US market, this includes items such as:

Lightweight and compact umbrella strollers for travel.
Full-sized everyday strollers with modular seating.
All-terrain strollers with advanced suspension systems.
Convertible or single-to-double stroller frames.
Height-adjustable prams and convenience strollers.

What Does Not Belong Here

If a product is designed primarily for carrying a baby on a caregiver's body, it belongs in Baby Carriers. If you are listing a device used to secure a child inside a vehicle, you must use the Baby & Toddler Car Seats category instead. Do not place accessories like rain covers, snack trays, or stroller organizers in this category; these should typically be classified as stroller accessories under their respective category paths.

Feed Implementation

You can define this category in your feed by using the numeric ID 568 or the full path Baby & Toddler > Baby Transport > Baby Strollers. Note that while this attribute is optional, providing the most specific category manually helps Google understand your product data better than relying on automated assignments.
