Kind + Jugend Innovation Awards 2013 presented
For the ninth time, the Kind + Jugend Innovation Awards for the best products of the year for babies and toddlers were presented at the start of Kind + Jugend 2013. A particularly innovative idea, outstanding technology, high level of functionality or extraordinary design were again the most important criteria for the decisions of the international and independent specialist jury consisting of industry professionals, trade journalists and safety experts. This year, 145 companies from 24 countries put forward a total of 183 products for the coveted winner's seal in eight categories.
The nominees and award winners are on display in the Innovation Area in hall 11.3 of Koelnmesse until the last day of the fair on September 22.
The winners of the Kind + Jugend Innovation Award 2013 at a glance:
In the category 'World of Moving Baby', the Greentom Upp buggy by Dutch manufacturer Greentom Operations B.V. secured first place. The decisive factor for the jury's decision was the buggy's sustainable production process. The Greentom Upp consists entirely of recycled plastic and can thus simply be recycled again. The buggy is constructed in just three minutes and from only four materials, without the use of screws or bolts. As a result, the
Greentom Upp can be produced locally without importing additional components and sold at the same price in every country.
