Mother & Baby Awards 2008

The winners of the prestigious Mother & Baby Awards were announced on Thursday 13 November at a glitzy black-tie ceremony at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel in London, hosted by Mock the Week presenter and comedian  - and new dad - Dara O'Briain.

Leading baby manufacturers and brands congregated for the biggest event in the industry’s calendar, organised by the Number 1 parenting magazine – Mother & Baby.

All products at the independent awards were tested and rated by mums before their feedback decided which brands won the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards.

Miranda Levy, Editor of Mother & Baby, commented: 

“These awards are widely recognised as the industry standard-bearer because they are judged by the most important baby experts of all – the parents themselves. It is therefore a real badge of honour for a brand or manufacturer to receive an M&B Award, as reflected in the huge number of entrants we had this year.”

Gold Winners included Mamas and Papas Luna Mix for the Best Pushchair; Graco Contempo for the Best High Chair; and Brother Max 3 in 1 Thermometer for Most Innovative Product.

Other winners included Asda who scooped the prestigious Retailer of the Year Award and Britax who won the Award for Excellence.
