Winner:GOLD - Best Changing Product Design

Who:Avery Row

What:Maize Changing Basket with Wildflower Garden Liner

Why:

This stunning changing basket wowed the judges this year, who loved this beautiful, lightweight jute basket and thought it would make a stunning addition to any nursery. The liner is padded and soft ensuring ultimate comfort just when little ones need it. The reversible liner makes the whole basket feel even more special – and it’s water-resistant and machine washable, making it as practical as it is gorgeous.

Avery Row makes the most beautiful nursery accessories. This changing basket is no exception.

I love the way this changing basket brings natural fibres into the nursery. Beautifully crafted and the liner is like a wild meadow. This is the kind of design that makes those everyday moments just that little bit more magical.

Winner:SILVER - Best Changing Product Design

Who:Shnuggle

What:Squishy Changing Mat

Why:

Our judges loved the stylish and premium design of Shnuggle’s squishy changing mat. Our panel appreciated every thoughtful design decision from the raised lip around the sides for extra security, to the clever incline to help babies with colic and reflux (as well as for those unexpected accidents mid change!) The three neutral colour options are all beautiful and would look stunning in any nursery.

What a smart design. These would look great in any nursery.

Such a clever and thoughtful design that feels like it will always look as good as the day you bought it.

Winner:JOINT BRONZE - Best Changing Product Design

Who:Tutti Bambini

What:Cushi Baby Changing Mat

Why:

Thoughtful, stylish and endlessly practical. Our judges loved the Cushi Baby Changing Mat for all these reasons and more. The wipe-clean cushioned surface looks modern and sleek, and the panel agreed it felt like a safe, supportive space for babies during changing times. This mat is designed to be adaptable and can be placed wherever and whenever you need it. No complicated covers or added clutter here, just a fuss-free, beautiful nursery essential.

An excellent changing mat that offers sleek and simple design that can be cleaned with ease.

Practical designs in soft, joy sparking colours. A useful and pretty addition to the nursery that will make life easier for parents through the nappy changing years.

Winner:JOINT BRONZE - Best Changing Product Design

Who:Henlee

What:Baby Changing Pad

Why:

These changing pads are thoughtfully designed to be a modern, wipe-clean alternative to traditional changing mats. The panel agreed that you could really tell this product was designed by a mother, featuring non-toxic, supremely cleanable faux leather that’s soft and stain resistant as well as coming in a range of gorgeous patterns and colours to suit any space. Our judges particularly loved how lightweight these mats were, meaning they can be moved with ease, and supported by a non-slip base.

These mats are made for the modern home and nursery. I love the range of colours.

Bonita Turner, Editor, Junior

A great design with beautiful contemporary prints and colours that will bring a lovely touch to any nursery. The gingham is my favourite!
