Manufacturers and designers from 57 countries around the world collectively registered around 5,200 products to be judged at the awards held in Germany. The Greentom stroller impressed with its innovative, high quality design, positioning it as one of the leaders in this international comparison. The ‘Best of the Best’ level of endorsement is awarded to just only 1.5 percent of all entries in the international competition.

The Greentom stroller is the first green stroller on the planet. Constructed using high quality recycled materials its frame is made using recycled polypropylene (PP) and the fabric is made of recycled soft drink bottles (PET). This makes the Greentom stroller not only highly sustainable, but also light and strong. The Greentom stroller range includes the Greentom Carrycot, Greentom Reversible and Greentom Classic seat options. One frame fits all, from birth to four years old.

With 41 experts from all around the world, the Red Dot independent expert panel assesses each entry strictly and fairly, live and on site, according to criteria such as degree of innovation, formal quality, functionality and ecological compatibility.

Professor Dr. Peter Zec, founder and president of the Red Dot Award said: “The Best of the Best recipients are recognised for their creativity and keen eye for aesthetic. We are delighted to announce Greentom as a winner of the Best of the Best Award for Design for this innovative product and look forward to honouring all winners at the formal presentation, to be held in Essen during July.
