Introducing the 2025 Kiindred Family & Kids Awards

After the huge success of our first ever Baby & Toddler Awards -  reaching over 7.9 million parents and helping hundreds of brands earn trusted recognition, we’re back with something even bigger. The Kiindred Family & Kids Awards is here to celebrate the best products and innovations supporting Aussie families through every messy, magical, and memorable stage of life.

From preschoolers to parents, we’re shining a spotlight on products that actually make a difference in family life. Think: school lunches that actually get eaten, cleaner playtimes, healthier habits, and tools that help families thrive.

Awards...
but different

As with the baby awards, we’ve listened to what brands really need –  and scrapped what doesn’t work. The result? Awards that are transparent, credible, and impactful. Because your product deserves more than just a generic badge.

Whether you’re a big brand, a boutique offering, or just an Aussie founder starting out – this is your chance to stand out to Aussie families.

Plus, it’s timed to perfection so your brands receive maximum reach and awareness among parents in the lead up to Christmas purchasing and the summer break.

Awards with meaning

We're combining the knowledge of our expert judging panel with the real-life experience of Aussie parents to spotlight the very best parenting products in the country.

When a product earns one of these badges, you’ll know it’s been endorsed by professionals and parents - so you can feel confident it’s worth your time (and money).

Expert Opinions with Real-Life Parenting Experience

Each product is judged in two different ways:

Expert’s Choice

Assessed by our panel of trusted Kiin Experts including educators, psychologists, nutritionists, and family lifestyle specialists, using set judging criteria that reflect what matters most to everyday Aussie families.


Parent’s Choice

Aussie parents vote with their real-life experiences… and their voices count just as much. Every vote comes from someone who’s been there, done that (and got the snack-stained shirt to prove it).

More Than Just a Badge

Every brand that enters gets value that extends far beyond the award winner’s announcement. Whether you win or not, your product becomes part of a powerful marketing and exposure ecosystem.
