1

Research

We start by understanding the unique needs and preferences of babies, children, and their caregivers. This involves thorough market analysis, user studies, and consultations with child development experts. By gathering insights on safety standards, ergonomic requirements, and developmental benefits, we ensure our products will be both safe and engaging.

2

Design

Next, our creative team gets to work crafting fun and functional designs. We focus on creating visually appealing products that are easy for little hands to use while incorporating features that support learning and growth.

3

Prototyping

We bring our designs to life using child-safe materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. These prototypes are tested for durability, safety, and usability to ensure they meet stringent industry standards. Hands-on testing with children provides invaluable feedback that allows us to refine the product further.

4

Refining

Based on feedback from prototype testing, we make necessary adjustments to perfect the design. This stage involves iterating on the prototype to enhance its functionality, safety, and appeal. Continuous collaboration with experts and real-world testing ensures the product is optimised for young users.

5

Launch

Finally, we help you prepare the product for market. We’ll help you create an on-shore or off-shore manufacturing pipeline that suits your budget, quality and brand requirements, and collaborate with mass manufacturers to ensure a smooth process.

FAQs

What types of products for babies and children can you design and prototype?

We can design and prototype a wide range of products, including toys, educational tools, furniture, safety equipment, and more. We focus on creating safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate items for young users.

How do you ensure your products support children's development?

We can collaborate with child development experts to ensure our products are developmentally appropriate. Our designs promote physical, cognitive, and emotional growth through engaging and educational features.

Can you assist with the manufacturing process after the prototype is approved?

Yes, we can help you with any aspect of product design. Depending on your needs and existing documents, we can either assist in an end-to-end capacity or for just one individual stage.

However, we typically find that taking shortcuts during the concept development and research phase can lead to expensive mistakes down the line. It is crucial for the success of your product that we ensure you have thought deeply about and researched all aspects involved in how your product will get made before we start prototyping.

We’re here to help fill in any gaps to reduce costly mistakes and risks that could have been avoided with some proper planning at the start.

Can you help me if this is my first product idea?

Absolutely! Our experienced directors will guide you through every aspect of your product design, so you don’t have to worry about the details. If you have a vision that you want to make a reality, it starts by booking your free consultation where we can assess the scope of what’s needed to launch your product.

We’re friendly and approachable. Our process is simple and we will also update you every step of the way, so you understand exactly where your project is up to and the next steps required.
