BoobyBiome

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

BoobyBiome Protect sets a new standard in milk storage, solving a problem few realised existed. By removing oxygen, we preserve the living and active components of breast milk, aligning with the growing demand for science-backed, health-first infant products.

What inspired you to develop your product?

As a founding team of scientists, our research uncovered that oxygen damages several components in breast milk during storage, including living bacteria and vitamins. We developed a solution to remove oxygen, so babies get milk’s full natural benefits however it’s delivered.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

It’s a chance to share our innovation pre-launch, meet leaders in baby care and get feedback on our device, helping us shape a product that supports parents and improves infant health.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

Success means raising awareness of our discovery, connecting with baby bottle brands for partnerships, and building relationships with industry players to support our upcoming launch.

ECOYY

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Our PureGlow sleeping bag bridges a gap by combining safe, pure, undyed & upcycled materials with practical features and timeless design. It rethinks baby textiles, offering real goodness and sustainability built into every stitch, for today's conscious parents and the future of our children.

What inspired you to develop your product?

As moms, we initially just wanted a better sleeping bag. What truly unlocked the potential of our creative, technical & strategic backgrounds were the constraints we faced: time, MOQs, materials – As a conscious and agile start-up, we managed to turn constraints to creativity, surplus to signature.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

We visited Kind + Jugend last year as curious moms and saw room for something new. So we built what we wished existed! Being here now means sharing our work with a global audience, raising awareness for our circular design approach, and gaining valuable feedback from industry professionals.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

Meaningful conversations that lead to collaborations and market opportunities. As a small brand, we do what we’re good at — but that is not enough, we need partners who share our insights to help our products reach more families, test them in new markets, improve, and achieve growth together.

Coro medical device with transparent sensor and smartphone displaying fluid measurement graph and 0.20 ml reading

Coroflo

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Scientific research shows the significant long term health benefits of breastfeeding. For that reason, mothers are recommended to breastfeed exclusively for 6 months and beyond. Yet breastfeeding rates in Europe are some of the lowest globally.

According to recent statistics, 85% of mothers initiate breastfeeding in Europe, but at six months only 23% breastfeed exclusively, compared with global averages of 38%. So why do so many women give up sooner than planned? The main reason - mothers do not know if their baby is getting any or enough milk. With all the advances in technology and medicine, there has been no global method to accurately and reliably measure milk supply in real time, until Coro.

What inspired you to develop your product?

Two of Coroflo's co-founders, Helen and Jamie, had their first child and experienced this very common stress of breastfeeding, realising the only way to check if the baby was getting enough milk was by weigh-ins in a medical setting. These weigh-ins could also vary wildly with little accuracy, further adding to the new parent stress. They knew there had to be a better solution.

Helen, being a medical doctor and Jamie, being an engineer who had worked on flow monitoring previously put their heads together to develop this revolutionary product.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

With Coro developing such an innovative product, including winning the prestigious Red Dot Award for Innovative Design this year, it is important that we join the leading trade fair for baby and toddler products.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

Winning the Innovation Award would be a fantastic follow on as well as being able to meet key retailers to enable our Go To Market and expansion plans.

Rebael

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Rebael was born from the desire to bring back a more authentic, thoughtful way of producing pacifiers. Our teat is made using a traditional dipping technique, several times layering pure natural latex without additives, resulting in a purer and more durable product.

By combining ecological natural latex and medical-grade polypropylene with minimalist Nordic design, Rebael offers a pacifier that is pure, elegant, and perfectly aligned with modern family values.

What inspired you to develop your product?

We believe that what a baby is exposed to early in life has a profound impact on their future. Every baby deserves the purest and most responsibly made pacifiers, which is why we source the best materials, produce in Denmark, and never compromise on safety or design. As parents and creators, we wanted a product we’d proudly give to our own children - embodying trust, beauty, and integrity.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

Kind + Jugend represents a crucial opportunity for us to introduce Rebael to an international audience of professionals who are shaping the future of baby care. For a young brand, it’s the perfect place to tell our story in person, receive direct feedback, and connect with like-minded distributors, retailers, and collaborators.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

Our main objective is to build meaningful partnerships with distributors and professionals who share our vision. If we can generate strong interest in Rebael, open follow-up conversations, and leave with clear next steps in our international expansion, we will consider our participation a great success.

DooDoo Story

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Establishing healthy sleep habits and bedtime routines has become a common and deeply-felt concern among parents with young children. In response, the demand for sleep-related content and products within the childcare market has been steadily rising, and this sector is now developing into an independent field within the parenting industry. Against this background, DooDoo Story’s signature product, <Shadow Theater>, has been receiving attention for its analog charm, combining light, shadow, and story-centric content. In today’s parenting environment, where exposure to overly stimulating media is a growing concern, our black-and-white, minimally visual content helps calm and regulate children’s emotions before sleep. Designed with both parental convenience and relaxation in mind, <Shadow Theater> offers differentiated value as a smart parenting assistant, providing an all-in-one solution for today’s caregivers.

What inspired you to develop your product?

<Shadow Theater> is more than just a product—it was born out of a journey to truly listen to parents’ concerns and find solutions together. “I want to read to my child every day, but it’s not easy.” “My child isn’t interested in books!” These are the kinds of worries we heard from modern parents. This led us to consider how we could help children develop a closer relationship with books, not just through reading, but by starting with something children genuinely love. The answer we arrived at, after much deliberation, is <Shadow Theater>. Since its launch, we have received heartfelt feedback, such as, “After experiencing Shadow Theater, my child started to show interest in books,” “My child naturally developed a bedtime routine,” and “Now, my child brings the Shadow Theater to me on their own!” These encouraging responses from parents have helped the product evolve to its latest version, and we remain committed to refining and developing Shadow Theater based on feedback from both parents and children.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

We are eager to introduce DooDoo Story’s value and benefits to parents in Europe who also face challenges in establishing sleep habits and implementing book-centered parenting for infants and young children. At a time when the use of digital devices is extending to younger and younger ages, we believe our analog, light-and-shadow, and story-driven content can promote emotional stability and imagination. Through our participation in this exhibition, we aim to demonstrate the potential of our products in the global early childhood sleep education market, to connect with local experts and partners, and to expand our international network for future collaboration.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

By participating in this exhibition, we aim to proactively communicate the value of DooDoo Story’s content to the European market, which demonstrates strong interest and purchasing power in educational content and analog toys for young children. We anticipate that this will lay the groundwork for future export and distribution agreements, in particular by engaging with local distributors and buyers interested in integrated content that spans education, books, and toys. Additionally, we look forward to exploring licensing partnerships with local content companies, which we expect will contribute positively to the expansion of DooDoo Story’s presence in the European market.

Ingarden

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

This all-in-one baby bottle washer is an electronic device that automatically washes, dries, and UV-sterilizes bottles and other baby products (such as pacifiers).

The industry has been eagerly anticipating our product for the following reasons:

  • Perfect Cleaning Power: Our cleaning power has been tested using chili oil, demonstrating perfect cleaning power.
  • UV Sterilization Function: UV sterilization eliminates the need for a separate bottle sterilizer.
  • No Installation: The water tank replaces the direct water pipe, eliminating the need for separate installation.
  • Transparent Water Tank: The transparent water tank allows for monitoring the water tank and cleaning water for contamination.
  • Detachable Water Tank: The water tank is removable for cleaning.
  • Low-noise motor: Does not disturb newborns' sleep.
  • Compact Size: Designed with the smallest footprint in mind for the small kitchens of newlyweds (24cm wide: the size of a wet wipe).

What inspired you to develop your product?

  • While there are numerous sterilizers for baby bottles worldwide, automatic bottle washers are still in the introductory stage.
  • Given the younger generation's tendency to avoid tedious and cumbersome tasks, automatic bottle washers are expected to become a breastfeeding essential.
  • Automatic bottle washers are also a new product in the market, and leveraging our experience and network will enable us to significantly expand the market.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

Multiple pastel-colored silicone pacifiers and two round white storage cases on a white surface

Moyuum

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

In the infant product market, there is a growing demand for products that provide comfort and convenience for both babies and parents. Since pacifiers are items used by infants for extended periods, safety and hygiene are fundamental requirements, and meticulous design tailored to the child’s developmental stage is essential. Our product demonstrates a high success rate in use, even among sensitive babies or those who previously resisted pacifiers. Moreover, it is recommended by the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Designed to remain securely in place while minimizing discomfort when the baby sucks on it, our pacifier meets the highest standards for both functionality and infant care.

What inspired you to develop your product?

While all-silicone pacifiers exist in the market, many lacked appropriate weight and usability considerations, making it difficult for babies to use them for long periods and causing inconvenience for parents in maintenance. To address these issues, we developed an all-silicone pacifier with an optimal weight and an ergonomic shape. The structural design distributes pressure on the palate to allow more stable use by the infant. Additionally, the pacifier is segmented into three stages to provide a tailored fit corresponding to the baby’s growth phases. The seamless silicone construction minimizes bacterial growth, and the inclusion of a hygienic storage case enhances both portability and safety.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

For Moyuum, participating in Kind + Jugend is more than simply attending a trade fair — it represents a strategic first step toward validating our potential in the European market and establishing our presence in the region.

One of our flagship products, the All Silicone Macaron Pacifier, has already proven its marketability and product excellence by securing the No.1 market share in Korea and several other Asian countries.

Made entirely of medical-grade 100% silicone, the pacifier offers exceptional safety and hygiene — top priorities for global consumers — and includes a dedicated storage case for added cleanliness and convenience.

Its flat nipple design allows babies to comfortably latch onto the pacifier with minimal effort. It also helps satisfy natural sucking needs, promoting emotional comfort and aiding in sleep routine development. For these reasons, we are confident that our pacifier will serve as a highly relevant and effective solution within European parenting culture as well.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

For us, Kind + Jugend marks the first meaningful step toward establishing our brand in the European market. This exhibition provides an opportunity to share Moyuum’s core values and product philosophy with European parents and to directly observe how our products resonate with the local audience.

As a brand with a proven track record in global design awards, we are proud to offer products that seamlessly combine aesthetic appeal, functional innovation, and the highest safety standards. We look forward to seeing these qualities recognized and embraced by the European market, and to using this platform to explore meaningful collaborations, build partnerships, and lay the groundwork for long-term international expansion.

Cleverelly white car charger with two USB ports and metal connectors

Cleverelly

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Because every parent forgets, but not every car reminds. Cleverelly fills a gap by creating a universal, affordable solution that plugs into any vehicle and builds the habit of checking the back seat - no app, no setup, just lifesaving reminders every time you exit the vehicle. The industry has overlooked the power of simple behavior change. And for too long too many families have been effected. Over the past 8 years we have learnt what needs to be done to make real change and we are excited to showcase this for the first time at Kind + Jugend.

What inspired you to develop your product?

Although I didnt invent the product but just work for the organisation, tragedies where children died in hot cars - despite loving, attentive parents - inspired us to act. We studied the neuroscience of memory, the limitations of high-tech sensors, and the realities of second hand car ownership. Cleverelly was born from the belief that saving lives should be simple, fast, and accessible to all. We are making videos of US state task forces and are excited to share this information here in Cologne.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

This is the global stage for innovation in child safety. Being at Kind + Jugend gives us the chance to share our mission with industry leaders, advocates, and distributors who care about protecting children. We registered because we want to raise the bar in safety - not just for new cars, but for every parent, everywhere. We believe there are over 65,000 cases every year in the US alone where babies are rescued from hot cars and believe there would be similar numbers here in Europe and want to focus on lowering these statistics which are often miscategorised and often not tracked.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

We want to spark new partnerships with safety organizations, distributors, and policy changemakers. Find new partners and organisations. Success means connecting with those who understand that habit, not hardware, saves lives - and who can help us scale Cleverelly into the hands of millions of families.

Child slicing strawberries and cucumber on a wooden board with a blue kitchen tool

Skagfadesigns.sl

Why has the industry been waiting for your product?

Because children deserve real tools to grow with. Klyv is more than a knife—it’s confidence, joy, and discovery at the table. Designed for little hands and natural cutting instincts, it’s safe, functional, and made with 30% wheat straw. It brings children to the heart of family life—around food, joy and learning.

What inspired you to develop your product?

It all started in our own kitchen—watching our children reach for a knife to help. Their curiosity and determination inspired us. We couldn’t find a safe, real tool for that early age, so we created one—with love, intention, and high quality.

What does participation in Kind + Jugend mean for a young company like you - and what motivated you to register?

It’s a key platform to introduce our brand to international buyers, retailers, and distributors. We joined to grow our network, find the right partners, and reach families seeking meaningful ways to connect—through cooking, creativity, and everyday moments.

What needs to happen at Kind + Jugend for you to be successful?

Success for us means creating real connections—with distributors, retailers, and partners who see the value in what we do. If Klyv finds its way into new markets and into the hands of families who love design and togetherness, we’ve achieved our goal.
