Digital Issue 04/2025

In this issue of baby&junior, we present some of the new products from Kind + Jugend – for a better overview, we have integrated numerous themed sections. These include toys, fashion, books and products from the baby mobility sector. The cover story by Britax Römer focuses on the new stroller "Rio". Another focus is on sustainability. As usual, you will also find important industry news, such as the results of Stiftung Warentest's pram test, the BDKH industry report and exciting guest articles and interviews. This issue also features news from the retail landscape, such as our report on the current favourite shop Firlefanz in Magdeburg, as well as reports on international fashion fairs and more.
