Top-Rated Pregnancy and Parenting Essentials: The Bump Announces Best of The Bump Award Winners for 2024

The 2024 Best of The Bump Awards highlights top pregnancy, postpartum, infant and toddler products tested by new and expecting parents and approved by The Bump editors

NEW YORK, NY, July 30, 2024 – From selecting the right ovulation test to choosing the safest car seat for a toddler, the countless product choices can overwhelm new and expectant parents. To alleviate the decision-making stress, The Bump, a leading multi-platform brand for pregnancy and parenting, announces the 2024 Best of The Bump Awards for pregnancy, postpartum, babies and toddlers. The Best of The Bump Awards honors top products based on extensive research and rigorous real-life testing from 187 expectant and new parents, as well as The Bump editors. Testers evaluated 500+ products utilizing a category-specific rubric to evaluate key performance aspects,  including ease of use, effectiveness, quality, style, design and value. The Bump analyzed the detailed testing results, alongside survey results from over 900 parents across the country, to select the 223 winning products in 27 categories honored by the 2024 Best of The Bump Awards.

“At The Bump, we take pride in our mission of being a trusted resource for parents and parents-to-be who are on the hunt for the best products for their family,” said Ashlee Neuman, Content Director at The Bump. “We are excited to announce this year’s Best of The Bump Awards, which celebrate the top products to meet timely pregnancy and parenting needs. For this year’s list, we expanded our market research by analyzing category leaders and newcomers, scouring user reviews and forums to understand product use for real families, surveying over 900 parents and parents-to-be and enhancing our scoring system for robust product evaluations from pregnant and parent testers. Through this process, our editors identified the best-in-class products that help make pregnancy and life with little ones easier.”

Below are highlighted quotes from the testing feedback of real parents and parents-to-be:

“This pump yielded exactly what I get with my standard electric pump. The milk was collected in under 20 minutes, and I was able to wash dishes and clean up my kitchen while the pump stayed secure inside my nursing bra.” – Christine C., mom of an 11-month-old, on the overall best wearable breast pump, Lansinoh Discreet Duo.

“I would recommend this car seat to anyone looking for security and comfort all in one car seat. We’ve tried two other infant car seats that are very high quality, and this is the best by far!” – Noora L., mom of a 5-month-old, on the overall best infant car seat, Nuna PIPA Aire rx + PIPA Relx Base.

“When I first got pregnant and was feeling extremely cautious about chemicals in skin care products, I gravitated toward Biossance because of its short ingredients list and EWG [Environmental Working Group] verification. Months later, my skin feels great and I continue to feel really good about my choice.” – Niki, 37 weeks pregnant, on the overall best pregnancy-safe skin care brand, Biossance.

The Bump selected 223 winning products in 27 categories to create the 2024 Best of The Bump Awards. The awards include the products rated best overall by testers and The Bump editors in each category. Additionally, The Bump editors gave awards to 13 sensory toys because of their critical importance to aid in cognitive, emotional, fine motor skill and language development.

This year’s winners align with the trending parenting shifts explored in the recent The Bump Future of Parenting Report. With today’s parents increasingly prioritizing balance and personal well-being, the Best of The Bump’s award-winning wearable and hands-free breast pumps empower moms to pump on the go, and carriers let parents stay close to their babies while having the freedom and flexibility to tackle the day. The report also spotlights the evolving landscape of family structures and gender roles, making unisex carriers essential for both parents and extended family members. Through the report, we’ve seen that today’s parents are more open about the challenges they face and are embracing the imperfections of life and parenthood. The postpartum underwear on this year’s list leans into the reality of birth – and its aftermath – tenderly addressing the needs of new moms that are rarely talked about. Eco-friendly diapers and multifunctional products, like convertible high chairs and 3-in-1 car seats, cater to trends in sustainability, meeting the shift toward environmentally conscious and adaptable parenting solutions.
