Mother and Baby Awards

We are thrilled to finally be able to announce the winners of this year’s Mother & Baby Magazine Awards.

The winning baby products of the year have all been exhaustively tried, tested and voted on by real mums, bubs and Mother & Baby’s expert panel.

Products were put through their paces over a period of six months in three different settings: at home in real-life situations, in a retail environment and online. The products submitted were assessed on quality, value for money, user-friendliness and innovation.

Here, the complete list of what real mums (and an expert panel) consider to be the best in every category from prams and car seats, to toys and nappies.

To find out which products won gold, silver and bronze simply click on the links below.

Huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
