We're delighted to share some exciting news: Izmi has been shortlisted in not one, not two, but three categories at the Junior Design Awards 2026.
After taking home a Junior Design Award for our Izmi Breeze Adventure Carrier last year, seeing three different Izmi carriers shortlisted this year feels incredibly special.
As a small independent brand, recognition like this means a lot. Every Izmi carrier starts with a simple goal: helping families stay connected through comfortable, practical carrying. To have three different products recognised across three different award categories is something we're hugely proud of.
Most importantly, we'd like to say thank you to the thousands of parents who have chosen to carry with Izmi, shared their photos and stories, and trusted us to be part of their everyday adventures. Your feedback has helped shape every product in our range - and we're thrilled to see that reflected in this year's shortlist.
Best Baby Carrier/Sling Design
Izmi Baby Carrier
Our bestselling Izmi Baby Carrier has been shortlisted for Best Baby Carrier/Sling Design.
Thoughtfully designed to support babies from newborn through to toddlerhood, the Izmi Baby Carrier combines comfort, simplicity and versatility in one lightweight carrier. Adjustable without bulky inserts and designed to fit a wide range of parents, it's easy to share between caregivers and comfortable enough for everyday carrying. Soft, supportive and intuitive to use, it's a carrier that works just as well for all-day adventures as it does for helping your baby settle for a nap while being carried.
We believe great design should make life easier for parents - and that's exactly what the Izmi Baby Carrier was created to do.
"An absolute dream. What an absolutely gorgeous carrier, incredibly comfortable for me and baby, and gives us both plenty of support. After being disappointed by another carrier after giving birth to my little boy in March, I did a lot of research to find the right carrier for us. I'm so glad I came across the Izmi Baby Carrier as it's an absolute dream to wear." - Sophie, June 2026
Best Travel Product (for Babies)
Izmi Breeze Baby Carrier
Travel with a baby comes with enough to think about without heavy, bulky equipment taking up precious luggage space.
The Izmi Breeze Baby Carrier has been shortlisted in the Best Travel Product (For Babies) category thanks to its ultra-lightweight design, breathable mesh fabric and compact size. Weighing significantly less than many structured baby carriers, it packs down small enough to tuck into a changing bag, suitcase or under-seat cabin bag without taking up valuable space.
Whether you're navigating airports, exploring a new city, heading to the beach or simply making the most of a sunny day at home, the Izmi Breeze Baby Carrier helps parents stay hands-free while keeping their baby close, secure and comfortable. The lightweight mesh fabric allows air to flow freely around both parent and baby, making it a favourite for holidays, warm weather and everyday adventures.
"The perfect carrier! We absolutely LOVE our Izmi Breeze Baby Carrier! It so so easy to chuck on and adjust, my husband is 6ft1 and skinny and I’m 5ft and not skinny and we can both adjust the carrier to exactly what we need. Our baby also really enjoys the carrier and it has saved us many times with naps when there’s lots going on and bubs just needs some calm. We also have the standard carrier which we love and the wrap we used when little one was a newborn, we’re a fully converted Izmi family!" - Katrina, May 2026
Best Travel Product (for Children)
Izmi Breeze Adventure Carrier
The Izmi Breeze Adventure Carrier has also been shortlisted in the Best Travel Product (For Children) category.
Designed specifically for toddlers and bigger kids, the Izmi Breeze Adventure Carrier solves a problem every travelling parent knows well: little legs can only go so far.
Lightweight and compact enough to keep in your bag all day, it's there when children suddenly need a rest after a long walk, busy sightseeing day or family adventure. Unlike bulky framed carriers, it folds down neatly and is quick to put on when needed, giving parents a practical backup without carrying extra weight.
Made with a large breathable mesh panel and suitable for children up to 32kg, it's designed to help families stay out for longer, explore further and enjoy more adventures together - without worrying about how they're going to get back.
"Hands free carrier for the win!!! Got this for my 2 year old, as we’ve been struggling with going on long walks and her little legs not being able to carry her far... all I can say is, LIFESAVER!! Being hands free is great as the weight is distributed evenly on our backs or side without any after pains. My husband is now enjoying baby wearing. Will definitely be getting another for baby, as the material is soft and neither of us get too hot in this and the color is lovely. Thank you team for a lovely carrier." - Aisha, May 2026
Fingers Crossed!
