Moving & Traveling

When it comes to getting from A to B with little ones, child safety is paramount for parents. Practical handling and functional storage space are also high on their list of priorities. At Kind + Jugend, trade visitors will have the opportunity to explore new offerings from renowned exhibitors as well as innovative solutions that cater to the needs of modern parents when it comes to mobility and travel.

• Strollers, buggies, joggers and accessories such as rain covers and footmuffs
• Car seats, booster seats, neck pillows and accessories like rear seat mirrors and sun shades
• Baby carriers such as back carriers and slings
• Bicycle seats and trailers

Where is the trend for strollers, car seats and bike trailers headed? What are the latest products in the area of travel systems and accessories? Kind + Jugend provides the retail trade with the necessary guidance.

Strollers are evolving into smart companions. Built-in sensors make pushing easier, even uphill. Smart technologies are also used in the area of safety, such as alarm systems for baby carriers and car seats.

The new generation of strollers offers added advantages like pneumatic tires, 6-way suspension, power steering and one-hand folding mechanisms.

The importance of sustainability is on the rise, driving interest in the use of natural materials like virgin sheep wool and cork. Non-toxic fabrics such as certified organic cotton and chrome-free rhubarb leather are being used in bags, upholstery, fillings and blankets.

Key considerations for both retailers and parents include breathable textures, recyclability and biodegradability of materials. At the same time, lightweight materials such as plastic and aluminium remain in demand for wheels, frames and connectors.

Multipurpose products are not only sustainable but also sought after. 3-in-1 products like strollers that double as baby carriers and buggies are winning the hearts of parents. Adjustable lying surfaces and height-adjustable handles ensure maximum flexibility. The trend towards multifunctionality makes parents’ everyday lives easier and is prominently showcased at Kind + Jugend.
