Major recognition for the Franconian baby and family brand hauck: The company was honoured today with the prestigious Innovation Award 2025 at the international leading trade fair Kind + Jugend in Cologne. The new ultra-light carbon stroller Lite N Care received the award in the category “Moving & Travelling”. Weighing just 5.5 kg, featuring a foldable carry-on size design (IATA compliant) and numerous functional as well as stylish details, Lite N Care offers a well-thought-out mobility solution for modern families. Whether in everyday urban life or while travelling, the new stroller impresses with high quality, compact dimensions and contemporary design. “This award is a fantastic recognition for the entire team and our development work. With Lite N Care, we wanted to demonstrate that lightness, comfort and style can be perfectly combined – we are absolutely delighted about this honour,” says Michael Eppler, Director Product at hauck. 
 
Suitable from birth up to 22 kg, with a reclining function, an XL panoramic window for optimal ventilation, a large sun canopy with UV protection 50+, and a spacious shopping basket, Lite N Care offers everything mobile parents need. Premium accents such as leather-look handles and bumper bar complete the sophisticated design. 
 
Following last year’s success – in 2024, Arketa Family won the Innovation Award in the category “Furniture & Facility” – this marks hauck’s second consecutive win. A strong testament to the company’s continuous innovative strength. “Last year’s award was a huge motivation for us – and winning again confirms our path: we want to create products that are functional, durable and suitable for everyday life, while also impressing through design and quality,” Eppler adds. 
 
The Kind + Jugend Innovation Award is one of the most important distinctions in the international baby and toddler industry. Each year, an expert jury recognises outstanding product innovations in eight categories that stand out for innovation, functionality, safety and design.
