Digital Issue 03/2025

There can be no talk of a boring summer news slump in our industry. The new baby&junior is packed with exciting articles, for example on the sale of Babymarkt and Joolz, the ADAC results of the new child car seat test and a guest article on Asian online platforms. We look forward with excitement to the international fashion fairs, where exhibitors present their collections for summer 2026. In the cover story, we reveal what new products Playshoes will be bringing with them and show other fashion highlights in the theme world. Inspiration for your product range is also provided by the Scandi Style, Soother and Baby Mobil sections - the design stories focus on the “Axkid Up” from Sweden and in the portrait we introduce Trixie from Belgium.
