2025 TGA People's Choice Award Winner

Kind + Jugend Innovation Award 2026 — Nominated

In September 2026, the Little Explorer was nominated for the Innovation Award at Kind + Jugend in Cologne, the world's leading trade fair for children's products.

It was one of five nominees in the Moving & Travelling category, alongside Thule, Croozer, smarTrike and Flybaby — an Australian brand on a shortlist with companies many times our size.

The Little Explorer was displayed in the Trend Space at Kind + Jugend across all three days of the fair.

About the Innovation Award

Products entered for the Kind + Jugend Innovation Award are assessed by an independent jury of industry experts. Nominees are selected for design, function and genuine innovation in their category, with winners announced at a live ceremony during the fair.

Travel Goods Association Award 2025 - Winner

In 2024 Melissa took a pre-production sample of SlumbaPak to Las Vegas. The product had not launched. Not a single unit had been sold. She wanted the travel industry to see it.

They saw it. And they voted.

SlumbaPak won the 2025 TGA People’s Choice Award before official launch — voted for by travellers, retailers and industry insiders.

About the TGA Awards

The Travel Goods Association Awards recognise excellence in the travel industry. Unlike many industry awards, there are no submission fees. Recognition is earned, not purchased.

The People’s Choice Award

This award is voted by the community — travellers, parents, retailers and industry. Winning it before launch told us parents needed SlumbaPak, and the industry was paying attention.

Now the product is here.
