MadeForMums Awards 2018 winners: best parenting products revealed
After thousands of hours rigorously testing and judging almost 500 products in 85 categories, we can reveal the winners of this year’s MadeForMums Awards
We put hundreds of pregnancy, maternity, baby and family products under the microscope as we tested and deliberated to bring you the very best.
Industry experts, real mums, dads and their children, and celebrity parents joined the MFM judging team to scrutinise all the shortlisted products, while at-home testers shared their experiences using the products in daily life.
We’re obsessive about parenting products, so we are excited we can finally reveal our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners – and some very worthy Finalists!
It’s our day job to test thousands of parenting products each year to provide the best, most honest, comprehensive and useful parenting reviews.
With these awards, we’ve taken it one step further by finding, judging and awarding all the very best.

There are many fantastic pushchairs on the market, but the Bugaboo Bee 5 is ideal for parents who live in a city or urban area and need to get on public transport or in and out of small paces quickly and easily. I love the fact it’s light, compact when folded and has one of the best pushes on the market for such a small buggy. It’s also one of the few compact pushchairs that can be used from birth with an additional carrycot and is travel system compatible, if you choose to use it with an infant car seat.
2. Little Butterfly London Toning Body Serum, £19.50
Packed full of good ingredients like poppy seed extracts, manilkara leaf extracts, Irish moss and sea algae, this powerful lotion leaves you skin feeling soft and supple, especially when applied after a bath. You can apply it all over the body for a plump and renewed-feeling skin. I also love the fact that the Little Butterfly London Toning serum is organic, safe for breastfeeding vegetarian-friendly and animal cruelty-free.
3. Babycups, £7
When weaning baby from breast or a bottle to cups, the Baby Cups are great! Recommend by dentists, the mini cups are ideal for little hands, as they are 5.4 cm wide and 5.2cm tall.
I like that these cups are sutiable from 4 months until around 3 years and your get four in a pack for under a tenner, so it’s a good deal too.
4. Harry and Rose Baby Nappy Spray, £5.50
A new and innovative type of nappy rash protection, this lotion sprays on to help soothe and moisturise sore bums. It utilises aloe vera, calendula and chamomile and doesn’t use parabens, phthalates, dyes or mineral oils. I really like the fact it sprays on and doesn’t leave your hands sticky.
