Best Pacifier Design | Junior Design Awards 2024

A brand new award for 2024 created to honour the influx of stylish pacifier and dummy designs now available to modern parents and unsettled babies

Winner:GOLD Best Pacifier Design

Who:BIBS Denmark

What:BIBS Studio Collection

Why:

These graphic patterned pacifiers, or dummies as they are called in the UK, really stood out to our judges who loved the bold stripes and florals that gave this stock piece of baby equipment plenty of personality and style. Made with natural latex and available in a choice of teat shapes, these dummies aren’t just about the pretty packaging. A great gift for design-conscious parents and babies who don’t want to compromise on quality.

Fun designs and colours that incorporate a dummy as an accessory as well as a frequent necessity!

Bibs have caught onto parents’ desire for cool looking baby equipment early. These pacifiers are the perfect example of form and design.

Winner:SILVER Best Pacifier Design

Who:FRIGG

What:FRIGG pacifiers

Why:

Our judges loved these super stylish pacifiers that come in a beautiful muted rainbow of on-trend colours. The panel was impressed to learn about FRIGG’s rigorous testing procedures to ensure chemical safety and felt the lightweight, ergonomically designed shield with pretty ventilation holes to reduce skin irritation was a genius touch. With a variety of colours and styles, FRIGG pacifiers cater to modern parents who seek both functionality and style for their little ones. Made with meticulous attention to detail, these pacifiers provide peace of mind and satisfaction, embodying the best of Scandinavian craftsmanship.

I love that this brand is designed around Norse mythology - Frigg being the Goddess of Motherhood and Fertility. Each dummy is based on a Viking shield - perfect for little warriors.

Winner:BRONZE Best Pacifier Design

Who:CAYO

What:CAYO Collection Box

Why:

Our judges loved these new sustainable dummies, beautifully presented in a recyclable giftbox. The choice of on-trend colours and pretty shapes really appealed to the panel who were excited to learn that these dummies are made from 100% recyclable, food- grade material. Our panel agreed that this was a great gift option for new babies and eco-conscious parents searching for a greener pacifier option.

A wonderful design and colour palette in a gorgeous gift box that you would be happy to give as a practical yet stylish gift. often it can be tricky to find a gift for babies that are both!
