Practical Parenting and Pregnancy Magazine champions great quality products and its awards are a chance to notice and celebrate excellence within the industry. Tested and reviewed by real Mums, the Practical Parenting Awards give a true validation of quality, usability and value.

Overjoyed with the news, Paul Walters, general manager for Tippitoes commented: "This is an important accolade for Tippitoes and it's incredibly encouraging that such a reputable group of judges who selected the Littondale Cot and Swing Shut Safety Gate from a number of products, identified both the quality and great value of our offering".

Launched last year, the Littondale Cot was designed to suit any nursery décor and although it does not cost the earth, the collection is built to last. A substantial cot made from solid beech wood, the Littondale has a three position mattress base height suitable from birth up to two years, and its classic slatted style means that baby can see and be seen at all times from all angles. The cot also incorporates a convenient hidden drop side that can be operated with one hand.

The Tippitoes Swing Shut Safety Gate is incredible value for money and definitely a ‘must have' item for every parent's home as it is ideal for keeping little ones out of harm's way. Lightweight yet robust, the gate is constructed from high quality metalwork and suitable for doorways between 75cm - 84cm and for extra wide doorways, an extension is available to purchase separately.

"Tippitoes", the elephant, is the brand's cute and unique logo so if he can't be found it's not a genuine Tippitoes product.
