RKW has rounded off another successful Harrogate International Nursery Fair, with leading nursery brands Chicco and Hubble Connected attracting strong interest from retailers and industry professionals throughout the three-day event.
Taking place from 18th to 20th October at the Harrogate Convention Centre, the show provided an opportunity for RKW to showcase exciting new product developments, from Chicco’s evolving nursery solutions to Hubble’s latest connected technology.
With a positive response to new launches and valuable conversations with both new and existing retail partners, Harrogate once again proved an important event for RKW’s growing nursery portfolio.
Chicco takes centre stage with evolving nursery innovations
Chicco returned to Harrogate with an exciting selection of new launches, including additions to its Meraviglia collection and the introduction of its new Bouclé Collection.
A standout of this year’s show was the new Chicco Next2Me Meraviglia Bedside Crib, featuring an innovative 8-in-1 evolving design. Crafted from FSC-certified beech wood, the wider Meraviglia collection has been developed to grow alongside families, offering adaptable, long-lasting nursery solutions that respond to children’s changing needs.
Also attracting attention was Chicco’s new Bouclé Collection, bringing a softer, more tactile aesthetic to some of the brand’s much-loved nursery products. Combining comfort with a contemporary, fashion-led finish, the collection reflects the growing demand for nursery essentials that complement modern home interiors.
Alongside these introductions, Chicco showcased its wider nursery portfolio, demonstrating how thoughtful design and multifunctionality continue to influence the brand’s approach to product development.
Hubble showcases the future of connected parenting
Hubble Connected also generated plenty of interest at Harrogate, with its latest smart baby monitoring technology highlighting the growing role of connected solutions in modern parenting.
Among the featured products was the Hubble GoBaby Portable+, combining 2K Ultra Clear HD video with an attachable all-day battery and flexible WiFi and non-WiFi viewing options.
Designed to offer greater convenience and reassurance, the monitor allows parents to stay connected whether at home or on the move, with additional functionality available through the HubbleClub app.
The wider Hubble offering also demonstrated how smart features and AI-powered insights are helping to make baby monitoring more intuitive, offering parents greater visibility and support throughout everyday family life.
