Best Health and WellBeing Brand (Baby) | Junior Design Awards

A brand new award for 2022 to tap into the growing trend for health and wellbeing products for babies.. here are the first ever winners of this new JDA...

Who:Myqen Infant Companion Electric Toothbrush

What:Dentist developed infant electric toothbrush

Why:

This multi-functional toothbrush for children age 6-36 months really caused a stir amongst our judges, who felt this was a high quality, well designed and carefully thought out design, addressing many of the less desirable issues surrounding children’s toothbrushes.

Interchangeable brush heads for growing children, high-quality, mould-proof materials, ergonomic design for ease of use, as well as sound and music functions, among many other details made this a shoe-in for gold.

This brand has raised the bar with children’s electric toothbrushes, bringing them up to the level of adult brushes if not beyond.

Bonita Turner, Editor of JUNIOR

A toothbrush that talks to you! This is bound to draw in even the most reluctant brushers. You can inspect their little gnashers with the help of a medical-grade light and its angled neck. It’s worth noting though, that its swanky design is bound to show up the other brushes on your bathroom shelf.

Charlotte Jolly, Beauty Director, Hello! and Hello! Fashion

So much thought and consideration has gone into this toothbrush. A real labour of love driven by a passion for children’s oral health.

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, JUNIOR

Who:CURAPROX

What:CURAPROX Soother and Teething Ring

Why:

This range really appealed to our judges who felt it was incredibly well researched on every level, helping to provide, not only teething relief and sensory comfort but long term oral health benefits too.

A brand that has gone beyond the call in its product development and design.

Just brilliant. These are the teethers and soothers you cry over when they fall out of the buggy!

Bonita Turner, Editor of JUNIOR

A fantastic range of products that encourage sensory and fine motor skills, while really helping to soothe and relieve teething pain.

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, JUNIOR

Anything that might contribute to a more peaceful night's sleep is worth trialing. And this Soother has been designed to reduce the risk of your baby developing teeth and jaw misalignments, too. The Baby Teething Ring also ticks lots of boxes. As well as easing any pain, its features and surfaces help develop sensory and motor skills.

Charlotte Jolly, Beauty Director, Hello! and Hello! Fashion

Who:Brush-Baby

What:Brush-Baby Gum & Dental Care Range

Why:

This incredibly comprehensive range of gum and dental care products for babies, toddlers and children aged from 0 – 10 yrs, was devised by a mum in conjunction with a dentist and with childrens’ very specific needs at heart. It really impressed the JDA panel who felt these products covered every stage of a child’s oral healthcare needs.

Innovative, ergonomic, well-designed products and tools that make it easy for parents to make sure their children get into great brushing habits.

Looking after young gums and teeth is so important and this brand makes it their mission to give parents everything they need to give their children the best possible start with their oral health.

Bonita Turner, Editor of JUNIOR

This range plugs lots of gaps in the market. By reimagining what children’s dental-care can look like, its intuitive products help families fall into that all-important twice-daily routine.

Charlotte Jolly, Beauty Director, Hello! and Hello! Fashion

This brand has really taken into account children’s needs in terms of dexterity, sensitive taste-buds and attention span!

Who:Bibbilyboo

What:Bibbilyboo Waterproof Teething Bib

Why:

For any parents of dribblers (Hi! We were soggy for three years.), these waterproof, highly absorbent bibs, are shaped to prevent rashes. These breathable and comfortable bibs have a highly absorbent, anti-bacterial bamboo core that is a godsend.

A great way to keep babies and toddlers dry and rash free when the drool just keeps on coming.
