BabyYumYum launched the first Product of the Year Awards in 2019, with voting for the second Product of the Year Awards opening in September 2020.
The awards are designed to empower parents with valuable information supplied by other parents who understand what they’re going through, while also celebrating the big, small, local and international brands that make parenting a little easier.
While 20,000 votes were cast in 2019’s awards, this year amassed 500,000. From the best bum creams to babyproofing equipment and maternity underwear, each brand on the shortlist was personally recommended by one of the moms and dads that make up BabyYumYum’s loyal audience and it was up to this trusted group of parents to vote and decide on the winners.
