Top 65 Life-Stages Trends in April

From Allergen Introduction Oatmeal to Charitable Wine Campaigns

— April 4, 2022 — Life-Stages
The April 2022 life-stages trends cover a range of innovations for all generations and were dominated by sustainable kids care lines, adaptive baby development trackers, and discounted healthcare services. The April 2022life stages cluster indicates how segments from each demographic have evolved over the first quarter of the year.

Notably, BUDCUD and Iza Rutkowska recently joined forces to launch the Cuddly Playground. The explorative artwork playground installation is an outdoor installation that focuses on artistic aesthetics and encourages children to explore their inherent curiosity about new environments.

Another intriguing example comes from Peach Kids, a new eco-friendly care brand for kids. The brand was launched by Grove Collaborative, a consumer goods manufacturer specializing in sustainable, plastic-neutral products. The all-new brand will make its debut with the first 100% plastic-free hair and body care system for kids.
