There is also plenty to celebrate: Firstly, you can find out which products the German Association of Toys (BVS) has chosen as the winners of the "TOP 10 Baby & Kind" 2023 competition.

Other top topics include our design stories about the limited "Rainbow Collection" from Nuna, the company portrait on Ergobaby's 20th birthday and the cover story on the summer innovations from Playshoes.
