BabyCenter® Announces Winners Of 2015 Moms' Picks Awards

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BabyCenter®, the #1 pregnancy and parenting digital resource, today announced the winners of its annual Moms' Picks Awards, the best maternity, pregnancy, baby, and toddler products of the year according to the true experts: parents. Through an online voting event that generated nearly 120,000 votes across 24 categories, parents chose the best products based on their personal experiences.

According to BabyCenter's recent State of Modern Motherhood report, 90 percent of moms are very influenced by product reviews when purchasing baby and children's products. And more than half of moms say they rely on product recommendations from other parents when making everyday purchases. To find peer reviews, moms are visiting Amazon (68 percent) and retailer websites (63 percent) as well as the BabyCenter Community (53 percent) and BabyCenter Products & Gear channel (52 percent).

"Moms feel a tremendous amount of pressure to get every aspect of parenting right," said Linda Murray, BabyCenter Global Editor in Chief.  "Seventy-five percent of moms tell us it's important for them to be 'perfect,' and that's why they rely so much on the opinions of others. Moms want to check with their peers to make sure they're making the best decision for their child – and their wallet. We all want great products that work."

To quench moms' thirst for information, relieve some of their anxiety, and simplify the decision-making process, BabyCenter has created the ultimate parent-driven product-recommendation engine.
