Cradle to first day of school: Theme worlds at Kind + Jugend

A variety of innovative offerings for babies and toddlers

Recognised as the leading international trade fair for baby and toddler products, each year Kind + Jugend showcases current and upcoming trends in the industry. Organised into seven theme worlds, retailers can look forward to an exciting variety of offerings that will elevate business and customer engagement to the next level.

A key highlight of Kind + Jugend is the Innovation Award, which recognises the best product innovations across eight categories. Furthermore, the additional distinction, the "Midwives’ Choice", was conferred by an independent jury of midwives once again in 2025.

Several child-friendly bi- and tricycles in different colors and models are displayed on a white platform. The bikes feature small frames, wide tires, comfortable saddles, and front baskets. In the foreground, there are two larger bicycles, one in light blue and one in dark green. In the background, various smaller bicycles in colors such as cream, green, gray, blue, and more can be seen. These decorative bikes are ideal for young children to learn how to ride a bicycle.
