NEW YORK (March 20, 2014) – TheBump.com, a leading pregnancy and parenting website, today announced the second-annual Best of Baby product awards, the best gear and products of 2013 for mom and baby. TheBump.com editors reviewed hundreds of products—from baby carriers to cribs—to find the items that truly excel in design, practicality, value, functionality, saving time, problem solving and innovation. The result is a carefully curated list of 100 top winners across 27 categories.

“Choosing a car seat, stroller or any gear for baby is one of the biggest and most challenging purchase decisions a mom makes during her pregnancy,” says Rebecca Dolgin, Editor in Chief of TheBump.com. “We’ve tackled the research, testing and selecting for moms-to-be with our Best of Baby winners, so she can feel confident about picking the best gear for herself and baby.”

In addition to receiving the sought-after honor of calling themselves a Best of Baby product, winners will also receive The Bump Best of Baby approval seal to post on their websites, as well as their product packaging, to truly highlight the top pregnancy and baby products on the market.

To celebrate the Best of Baby awards, The Bump is hosting a baby gear sweepstakes for one lucky winner to receive $1,200 worth of award-winning baby gear products from brands including 4Moms, aden + anais, Ergobaby, Mamas & Papas, Phil&teds and Stokke. Additionally, zulily, a retailer for moms, will host The Bump Best of Baby sale on March 21, 2014 featuring a selection of more than 35 winners across the 27 categories.

Best of Baby sale shoppers will receive free shipping plus $25 off a $100 or more purchase.
