Our story

Started by a parent, for parents.

Tina Summers founded Loved By Parents in Kingston upon Thames in 2010, writing about the baby products she genuinely loved using with her own children. The awards followed in 2011 and went international in 2012.

Today the Loved By Parents heart is a trusted shortcut for parents in a crowded, confusing market.
