Innovative New Baby Products Earn Recognition

MT. LAUREL, N.J., Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) proudly announced the 2024 Innovation Awards winners yesterday during Prego Expo in Chicago, Illinois. The JPMA Innovation Awards recognize the most exciting new baby and children's products on the market. Four special award recipients and 11 category winners were selected. Winners were determined by a panel of judges comprised of industry experts, media representatives, and retailers. For the JPMA Parents' Pick Award, more than 1,200 parents voted for their must-have product. 

"Creating innovative baby and children's products isn't always about reinventing the wheel," commented judge Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director for Everyday Health Group Pregnancy & Parenting. "Rather, it's about tweaking the wheel to help solve those seemingly small problems us parents face every day. I was extremely impressed with the number of JPMA Innovation Awards nominees that prioritized saving parents time and space or just provided peace of mind. And the winners truly lighten the physical and mental load when it comes to raising kids."
