Clean and clever: Stokke, which launched its iconic Tripp Trapp chair in 1972, has a reputation for smart, sustainable children’s products with Scandinavian style.

The Stokke Flexi Bath, €39, a finalist in the upcoming Mother & Infant awards, folds flat for easy storage when not in use. Roomy enough for a four-year-old, the bath is suitable from birth, with an optional newborn support, €15 and made from phthalate and BPA free polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE). Lightweight and portable, it’s useful for small spaces and travelling; www.stokke.com
