In the category 'World of Moving Baby', the Greentom Upp buggy by Dutch manufacturer Greentom Operations B.V. secured first place. The decisive factor for the jury's decision was the buggy's sustainable production process. The Greentom Upp consists entirely of recycled plastic and can thus simply be recycled again. The buggy is constructed in just three minutes and from only four materials, without the use of screws or bolts. As a result, the
Greentom Upp can be produced locally without importing additional components and sold at the same price in every country.

The seat height can be adjusted to three different positions in just a few simple steps and adapted to the child's changing requirements.

Without doubt, one of the most innovative initiatives of the fair has been the creation of new spaces for designers. as the Designpark 'kidsroomZOOM!ʼ. At Kind + Jugend, design initiative 'kidsroomZOOM!' presents selected design objects, some of which are appearing in Germany for the first time. 'kidsroomZOOM!' is curated by 'unduetrestella' (Milan ). Altogether, around 40 international designers are participating in the new exhibition format. As spanish representation we founded studio Menut of Maria Baldó and David Ortega. It is convenient to underline that the projects selected are produced basicaly by the own designers. Again selfproduction seems an exit for the new design and fresh innovation.
Otra iniciativa ha sido la alemana Afilii con una selección muy interesante de buen diseño (si no el mejor) para niños.
