WINNER OF BEST ECO PRODUCT DESIGN FOR BABIES: GOLD
WHO: BINIBAMBA
WHAT: BINIBAMBA merino sheepskin Snuggler (buggy liner)
WHY: No one could pass the Binibamba display without reaching out for a lingering stroke! These sumptuous, incredibly soft sheepskin buggy liners really caused a stir with our judges who all noted the luxurious quality and beautiful craftsmanship. Binibamba describes itself as a fully sustainable source of snuggles and the panel were deeply impressed with the brand’s intrinsically eco-friendly values. All Binibamba’s sheepskins are a by-product from the meat industry and are sourced from ethical farms in Australia. The brand also works with an ethical, fully audited tannery, testing our sheepskins to be REACH-compliant. The fact that Binibamba are also a plastic free company really resonated with our panel who loved the fact that this product, as well as all their packaging, is natural, biodegradable & reusable.

WINNER OF BEST ECO PRODUCT DESIGN FOR BABIES: JOINT SILVER
WHO: Bambino Mio
WHAT: Bambino Mio mioduo two-piece reusable nappy
WHY: Everyone loved these re-usable nappies on first sight. The cute and cheery designs on the outer covers really appealed to our judges who loved the fact that these nappies make changing time and beyond a chance to show personality and style rather than just a functional afterthought. Ease of use was another huge draw for our judges who loved the simple, snug fastening system and the one size foldable insert that was super soft to the touch – not forgetting the double gusset for extra leak-proof protection. Overall, this product is such a thoughtfully designed, money saving and eco-friendly alternative to regular disposable nappies, which are loaded with silicone and plastic and take on average 500 years to break down, that they scored extremely highly with the panel.

WHO: Mama Toyz
WHAT: Mama Toyz 3-in-1 Large Loop Nest – a rockable baby pod that turns into a sensory gym and then a balance board that can be used by the whole family.
WHY: Our panel absolutely loved this multi-tasking product that can segue between being a baby nest and sensory baby gym and then becomes a super versatile balance board that can be used for creative play when the baby phase is over. Not only does the 3-in-1 aspect mean less clutter in the home, less to buy and less landfill but our judges were excited to learn that this product is handcrafted from natural, sustainably-sourced wood, using only eco-certified water-based adhesives and paints in the brands own factory where nothing is compromised and everything has passed CE tests. An aesthetic, functional and eco-friendly hit!
