3 Award-Winning Toys That Parents and Little Swimmers Love!

At Water Babies, we believe in creating products that make learning to swim fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting for little ones. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce (🥁drum roll, please)… that all three of our toys we entered in the Loved by Parents Awards 2025 have won Platinum - the highest honour! This recognition means so much to us because it’s voted for by real parents just like you.

 

What Are the Loved by Parents Awards? 

The LBP Awards are one of the most trusted parenting awards programmes in the UK. Each year, thousands of parents test and vote for their favourite products, celebrating the best in baby and toddler essentials. Winning a LBP award isn’t just about a title, it's a true mark of quality, innovation, and trust. 

So, which of our toys made it to the podium? Here’s a closer look at our award-winning products and why parents (and little ones) love them! 

🏆 Bubba Bath Toy – Best Eco Baby Bathtime Product 

A Natural Choice: Made from 100% natural rubber from the Hevea tree, Bubba is a safe and eco-friendly bath toy. 

Safe for Little Mouths: Hand-painted with food-grade dyes, Bubba doubles as a gentle teether, perfect for soothing sore gums. 

Floats Upright: Unlike many bath toys that tip over, Bubba stays upright in the water, making it more engaging for little swimmers.
