What:Sonic Kids’ Toothbrush
Why:
With its adorable animal design, powerful 36,000 sonic vibrations, and ultra-soft W-shaped quality bristles, this toothbrush really stood out to our judges who felt that it would not only give little teeth a thorough clean but would get kids excited about brushing time. The smart timer and zone reminders and simple one-button, 3 modes operation felt easy to use and the panel could see kids feeling confident and empowered using their brushes independently.
"These toothbrushes are so cute! Perfectly designed for little hands, they are easy to hold and operate. A great design."
"Equal parts charming and functional, these toothbrushes make those all-important two minutes a little easier for the whole family. I have to shout-out the soft bristles that somehow remove plaque whilst still being gentle on teeth and gums."
"Cute design to help encourage teeth brushing! Easy to use as well."
"Adorable. My kids would love to brush their teeth with these."
"My daughter absolutely loves this toothbrush! It's the perfect size and thoughtfully designed. It works really well and the brush head is the perfect size. The toothbrush isn't too heavy, either. Looks slicker than any other kids’ electric toothbrush on the market."

Who:Altruist
What: Kids Sunscreen Roller SPF 50
Why:
The Junior Design Awards judges were super impressed with this dermatologist formulated SPF50 sunscreen formulated especially for babies and children age 6 months +. The panel could see that the chunky roll-on applicator would be really appealing to children old enough to have a go at applying their own sunscreen without any of the mess as well as an easy way for grown-ups to apply sunscreen to their children on the move. The bright yellow lid was praised for making this product easy to spot in a crowded beach bag and the panel was excited to hear that 10p from every Altruist product sold is donated to charities in Africa and around the world that protect people with albinism from the sun.
"I'm such an advocate for Altruist - not only do I buy it on repeat for my children, I recommend it to all the parents at school. The new Roller bottle makes a brilliantly-formulated sunscreen even more accessible for kids - and at such an great price point."
"Love a rollerball sunscreen and this is also great for sensitive skin."
“An excellent product for both adults and kids. These sunscreens are brilliant for the price point and so easy to use for topping up throughout the day. They make applying sunscreen quick, simple and mess-free.”
“A really handy product that you can carry in your handbag and whip out whenever needed. Great quality suncare you can trust.”
