The Happy Start Wins a Best of The Bump 2025 Award

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—our High Contrast Board Book has been named a Best of The Bump 2025 Award winner! Recognized by the editors and experts at The Bump, this award celebrates top products that support early parenting journeys, and we couldn’t be more honored to be included.

This recognition comes just one month after our Vision Development Cards received the 2025 Baby Innovation Award for Early Development Toy Product of the Year link. Two national awards in two months—it’s a milestone moment for our small business.

Why Our High Contrast Board Book Stands Out

Named one of the Best Newborn Toys by The Bump, our board book is specially designed to support early visual and cognitive development. With 14 bold black-and-white images and the first colors infants can see—red, yellow, and blue—our book is more than just a toy. It’s a developmental tool backed by pediatric expertise and loved by babies, parents, and professionals alike.

Some standout features:

  • Self-standing design perfect for tummy time
  • Durable board pages with rounded corners for safe handling
  • Language inclusivity, with covers available in 8 languages
  • Affordably priced under $10, staying true to our mission of accessibility

A Win for Families Everywhere

At The Happy Start, our goal has always been simple: to create affordable, expert-designed baby products that give every child the best possible start. This award validates not just our product, but the purpose behind it. We’re proud to be recognized alongside other incredible brands that are redefining what quality and care look like in early childhood.

Thank you for being part of our journey. None of this would be possible without our incredible community. To the parents who've shared their experiences, the healthcare professionals who've provided invaluable feedback, and the families who've welcomed our products into their daily routines—this recognition belongs to all of us.
