What is NAPPA?
The National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) is one of the oldest and most respected awards programs in the country. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, we have been continuously celebrated as the “go-to” source for parents and professionals seeking the best products for their children and families.
NAPPA holds two competitions annually:
- Children’s Products Competition
- Parenting Resources Competition.
The Children’s Products Competition identifies the best Toys, Games, Books, CDs, DVDs and Virtual Products (Software, Apps, Video Games, Websites).
The Parenting Resources competition identifies the best baby and parenting products in the following categories: Baby Gear & Equipment, Baby Health & Nutrition, Baby & Toddler Accessories, Childproofing and Safety, Natural & Green Products, Healthy Food Packaged Goods, Maternity, Breastfeeding & Women’s Fitness, and Parenting Education (Books, Websites, Software).
How We Do It:
NAPPA enlists a team of independent expert judges and family testers to review each submission thoroughly. Together, they select the most entertaining, appealing, safe, educational, age-appropriate and enduring products as NAPPA Gold, Silver and Honors winners. A NAPPA recognition is more than just a seal of approval. It signifies that a product has been rigorously evaluated against stringent criteria and that it stands out among hundreds of similar products from around the world. Products that receive the prestigious NAPPA award are quality products that parents and professionals can trust.
Why We Do It:
We strive to bring the best, quality products to the attention of the parents we serve so that they can make smart consumer decisions for their families. It brings us great joy to share our findings with you.
