After much deliberation, the BPA Baby and Nursery Trade Awards (BANTA) judges have announced the shortlist of products invited to the final judging at Harrogate Nursery Fair on Sunday 25th March 2012.

The panel of judges comprises a team of industry experts with numerous years of combined experience in the baby products sector and each entry was individually assessed on a range of criteria including innovation, quality, safety, consumer appeal and value for money.

There are eight categories: Wheeled Goods, Child Restraints, Playtime, In Home, Sleep Accessories, Travel Accessories, Safety and Feeding, Cleaning & Changing and with an unprecedented number of entries this year, the judges have certainly had their work cut out in choosing those which stand out from the rest.
