Best of The Bump Award Winners of 2025
For more than 10 years, The Bump has been recognizing the best of the best in baby and pregnancy products, so your parenting journey can be as smooth as possible. Our annual Best of The Bump awards series combines the expertise of our editorial team with rigorous hands-on product testing by parents and parents-to-be (just like you!). We carefully match each product with the needs of moms and dads nationwide—parents who have the relevant lifestyle and experiences to accurately assess whether an item is actually good for a specific use or need.
Below, find out more about how we chose each of our top picks—and then, without further ado, check out the Best of The Bump award winners for 2025.
The Bump editors aren’t just a panel of experts—we’re moms and dads too, so we know how important it is to find the very best pregnancy and parenting gear to suit your needs. In preparation for our annual Best of The Bump Awards series, our team did extensive research to pinpoint the specific product uses that parents and parents-to-be commonly have, and find the leading and newly launched products on the market that are designed to meet those needs. After assessing all of the options across 33 essential pregnancy, postpartum, baby and toddler categories, we took the following steps:
- The Bump team selected 683 top-rated products to send for further testing. We enlisted 246 independent product testers who were either pregnant or a parent of a young child to use the items at home and with their little ones, carefully pairing products with testers who had relevant lifestyles, needs and appropriately aged kids. (So if, say, we were looking for the best pregnancy pillow for back pain, we used pregnant testers who were actually experiencing back pain!)
- Our testers assembled, used and washed these items to see how they performed in real-life scenarios. Using a category-specific scorecard, they then wrote up reviews and scored each product from 1 to 10 on a variety of performance aspects, ranging from effectiveness and ease of use to style, value for money and more.
- We ran four surveys asking a total of over 1,200 new and expectant parents from The Bump community to share their feedback on the TTC, pregnancy, postpartum and baby and toddler products they’ve used.
Once the results were in, we paired this rigorous research and testing protocol with the recommendations of medical and safety experts and the area expertise of The Bump editors to bestow the Best of The Bump award to the standout options for specific needs across 33 categories, resulting in a grand total of 239 winners.
Editorial integrity is at the heart of everything we publish. Read more about how The Bump develops our product reviews.
