"This impressive piece of kit really stood out to our judges who loved the versatility of a cot bed that caters from newborn all the way to toddler and beyond. Our judges were hugely impressed with Gaia Baby’s commitment to sustainability with the use of ethically sourced natural wood and non toxic, baby-safe paints and a resulting product that is 100% recyclable. A fantastic option for eco-conscious, stylish parents."
Hera Cot Bed
The Hera Cot Bed was awarded Silver for the 'Best Cot Bed Design' at the Junior Design Awards! Here's what they had to say:
"This timeless rocking chair was praised for its beautiful pared back design, comfort and gentle rocking motion. Our judges loved the hand-finished, sustainable wood and the washable, neutral seat cushions that would elevate any nursery space and blend into any room in the home."
Rocking & Nursing Chairs
Serena Rocking Chair
The Serena Rocking Chair was awarded Silver for the 'Best Interiors Product Design (Furniture)' at the Junior Design Awards! Here's what they had to say:
"The Junior team would like to personally thank Gaia baby for entering this gorgeous rocking chair into the awards. We have never sat on a piece of furniture so enthusiastically between judging or even while judging before! SO comfy! This chic, mid century influenced version of the traditional rocking and nursing chair, breathes fresh air into a nursery staple, and provides so much comfort during all those feeds – giving weary parents a wonderful way to take the weight off their feet while they rock with baby and bond. The clean lines, generous seat and thoughtful touches including an extra lumbar cushion and padded armrests, were all applauded by our panel who felt that this was such a stylish piece of furniture that it would stay in the family home long after it had finished its role as a nursing chair"

Baby Wraps & Carriers
Soft Newborn+ Carrier
Mother & Baby Awards 2025:
The Soft Newborn+ Carrier was awarded Silver for the 'Best Baby Carrier/Sling'! Here's what they had to say:
"Mums were full of praise for the ease of using this carrier - one parent told us that "Being first-time parents, we were apprehensive and lacked confidence in using a baby sling correctly. The Gaia sling comes with step-by-step instructions that were easy to follow and helped put our minds at ease when trying the carrier for the first time". Another found this carrier much easier than competing products, telling us that "the instructions on the box were also very straightforward. I found other carriers were very complicated, especially as a first-time mum."
Junior Design Awards:
The Soft Newborn+ Carrier was awarded Bronze for the 'Best Baby Carrier/Sling Design'! Here's what they had to say:
"The super soft quilted Gaia Baby Newborn+ Carrier was a big hit with our judges who loved the simple design and the easy 3 click fastening system. This carrier was praised for its pared-back, simple design and wonderfully soft fabric that both baby and wearer would benefit from. The versatility of this carrier impressed the panel who really appreciated the fact that it can be adjusted from newborn, to parent-facing and world-facing positions."
Stretchy Baby Wraps
Junior Design Awards:
The Stretchy Baby Wrap was awarded Bronze for the 'Best Baby Carrier/Sling Design'! Here's what they had to say:
"Our judges felt this was a brilliant option for eco-conscious parents who wanted the added benefit of an easy to use, really supportive, baby hugging wrap.
A good price for the benefits of a sustainable product. Really like the various design options. The easy to follow instructions are a big plus and I like the stretch. Good weight - feels secure but easy to handle."
Made for Mums:
The Stretchy Baby Wrap was awarded Bronze for the 'Best Baby Carrier, Sling & Wrap'! Here's what they had to say:
"In the words of parent tester Samantha, who tested this with their 3 month old: "Designed to hold heavier babies so it can be used for longer, this one-way stretch wrap is made from snuggly organic cotton and is perfect for new mums as the instructions are sewn into the material. Worn all day, it still feels secure even after taking my baby out and putting him back in several times."
The Mum Marketplace Awards:
The Stretchy Baby Wrap was awarded Gold for the 'Best Baby Carrier, Sling & Wrap'! Here's what they had to say:
"Must-Have: Beautiful organic cotton, breathable, good amount of stretch to ensure comfort for your baby and at a really affordable price point. I think this is a must-have for new mums!"
"Love: I used this with my daughter from newborn all the way up until she was about 8 months, absolutely loved it. Only stopped because she got so heavy!"
"Quality: Amazing quality, simple - sleek design. Affordable price point. Lovely breathable fabric. I don't go anywhere without it."
"Lovely: So easy to put on, minimal adjustment for my baby and lovely colour ways. I tell everyone about this now. Love being close to baba and having hands free for toddler.
