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."
