Winner:GOLD Best Eco Product Design for Babies

Who:BINIBAMBA

What:BINIBAMBA Sheepskin Snuggler

Why:

These 100% natural, biodegradable and sustainable snugglers were like sensory magnets to our judges, who couldn’t resist stroking them on repeat. The panel loved the innovative design from simple neutral sheepskin to a striking yin yang design and felt the hypoallergenic and naturally thermostatic qualities of this product made it a perfect all-year- round accessory that would make babies feel happy, comfortable and secure in buggies, bassinets and even on the floor for tummy time.

We love this multi-use product that is incredibly soft and stylish and can be used anywhere that babies and toddlers need to feel cosy and comfy.

This is a lovely, versatile snuggler and will certainly make wherever it’s being used comfy and cozy.

I am totally in love with this. It is a sustainable product and it is absolutely gorgeous. So cool, so chic & so snuggly!

Daisy Lowe, model and broadcaster, @daisylowe

Whenever I see a baby lying on one of these, I wish I was that baby! Impeccably crafted and reassuringly sustainable.

Why:

Eye-catching, joyful and stylish, Etta Loves’ collections are always a big hit with parents and babies. As well as looking fabulous, their designs have the science of infant sight at their core, giving parents peace of mind and mesmerising little ones. Our judges loved this latest collaboration with talented artist Camille Walala, whose vibrant, graphic designs lend themselves perfectly to the Etta Loves aesthetic. The range was praised for its fresh contemporary feel and commitment to developmental support.

I really love this product range. It’s sustainable, and super design-focused. Perfectly attuned to the littles developmentally, with a keen eye on an attractive interior.

Winner:JOINT BRONZE Best Eco Product Design for Babies

Who:Greyfox Designs

What:IKEA Highchair Accessories

Why:

The JDA panel was impressed by this innovative, sustainable and cost-conscious way of updating a simple IKEA highchair. The designs were praised for their simple, sweet feel and breadth of options. Our judges loved the fact that these accessories could transform and personalise a simple piece of furniture in minutes.

Beautiful design for a very affordable price. Like the mix and match nature so you can personalize your baby’s feeding experience. Being able to be unique and inspired at such a great price is a formidable innovation.

Jennifer Cattaui, founder of Babesta, New York, @babesta

Very Practical.

Mimi La Besa, luxury lifestyle creator, @mimilabesa

I really love this idea, which gives a basic highchair an instant upgrade with super stylish results.

A really clever way to personalise your baby’s highchair and give your home a lovely lift no matter what your budget.

Winner:JOINT BRONZE Best Eco Product Design for Babies

Who:Shnuggle

What:Shnuggle Squishy Changing Mat

Why:

This thoughtfully designed changing mat really impressed our judges who felt that it would make those frequent changes more relaxed and streamlined with its squishy warm-to-touch texture, easy to clean, hygienic surface and gentle incline to relieve colic and let any accidents run away from baby while being safely collected in the raised rim. Clever!

This is such a great changing mat that will keep your little squishy feeling super comfy while you perform a pit-stop. 

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

Demonstrating an excellent eye to detail: The incline, the lip around, and the squishy material. This will certainly be a crowd-pleaser at diaper changing time (and for the parent, who can simply wipe it down!)

Jennifer Cattaui, founder of Babesta, New York, @babesta

Wipeable, comfy and no escaping wees! A parenting stalwart brought up to date with intelligent design. 

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior, @juniormagazineonline

Winner:HIGHLY COMMENDED Best Eco Product Design for Babies

Who:Bibbilyboo

What:Bibbilyboo Waterproof dribble bibs

Why:

Anyone with experience of a dribbly baby will know just how soggy necks, chests and clothes can get and how problematic dribble rash can be. These thoughtfully designed waterproof dribble bibs made with three layers of fabric for superior absorption, including a core of antibacterial bamboo, keep babies dry and comfortable all day long.

Love the colourful fabrics, the absorbent layered inner and use of bamboo. And 200 uses is nothing to drool at! These are good looking bibs in lots of fun designs - more like an accessory!

Jennifer Cattaui, founder of Babesta, New York, @babesta

A smart and practical option for keeping your baby clean and comfy - a must for every baby bag!
