Kind + Jugend 2026 Highlights: MODYN Highlights

What if baby products could do a little more for parents?

This year at Kind + Jugend, we saw a clear shift towards products that not only care for the child, but also support the parent. From connected features and automated assistance to climate regulation and smarter everyday solutions, baby products are becoming increasingly responsive to the realities of modern family life.

At the same time, brands are moving beyond individual products, creating broader ecosystems that connect different moments of the family journey. Convenience, reassurance and ease are becoming powerful drivers of innovation — with products taking over tasks, anticipating needs and making everyday parenting feel a little more effortless.

Beyond the fair itself, we also take a brief look at notable developments in the wider stroller and car-seat landscape, highlighting products that give a glimpse into where the category could be heading next.

Together, these developments point towards a new generation of baby products that are not only functional, but more intuitive, supportive and designed around the parent experience.
