Introducing the 2025Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards

This year, we’re bringing our Kiindred vibe, incredible experts, community of parents, and the best baby and toddler brands together to launch the Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards.

Awards... but different

Awards are a great way to show parents that your product is trusted and loved, but they’ve started to feel a little same-same.

To create the Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards, we’ve taken on board what brands actually want and scrapped what no longer works. We’re bringing fresh energy, transparency, and impact because an award should do more than just look good on a shelf.

Here’s what makes Kiindred Awards different:

Everyone gets twice
the chance to win

The Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards are all about combining real parent reviews with expert advice. With two awards up for grabs in each category, brands have double the chance to score a badge that truly means something to Aussie parents, giving them one less thing to worry about.

It's a literal 'win-win'!

Expert’s Choice

Chosen by a panel of Kiin Experts across various parenting disciplines, using clear judging criteria.

We usually work with our amazing Kiin Creators (real parents!) for brand content, but this time, they’ll also help spread the word about the Kiindred Awards. For brands, that means loads of organic buzz — from social posts to group chats, our creators will help build serious hype around the awards and all the perks that come with them.

Meet our talented
Kiin Experts

Experts are part of our DNA here at Kiindred. From our first app over 10 years ago through to today, we work with some of Australia’s most respected and credible experts across multiple disciplines.

For most of us, having and raising a baby is all new territory, and we want to make sure we get it right. So we lean on experts like doctors, midwives and dieticians heavily for peace of mind that we’re getting it right.

A panel of these same experts will judge Australia’s best Baby and Toddler products in the Kiindred Expert’s Choice award.
