Sustainably happy!

Next kiddo is an online market place for used quality toys and kid books. We envision to go beyond a market place and serve as a community platform for our kids to find play groups based on language, age group, neighborhood and favorite activities where there is a possibility for the parents to host events.

With our AI-assisted recommender system, kids receive personalized offers (i.e., toys, books, groups and events) based on their profile and suited to their age, language and interests.

In this platform, we ensure economic benefit, environmental benefit as well as an educational benefit as we raise more responsible kids for a better future.

Why Next Kiddo?

Child and Parents Perspective

More quality playtime, cheerful kids and happy parents! Besides, parents can save a lot of space and earn money by selling what their kid doesn’t enjoy anymore. Of course they can also save a lot by purchasing quality used toys and books to please their dear ones.

Psychology Perspective

Research published in Infant Behavior and Development (February 2018) indicates that having too many toys can overwhelm children, leading to shorter attention spans and reduced concentration. Fewer toys encourage more creative play and longer periods of focused attention. In fact, it’s proposed that kids are expect to not more than 20 toys at a time.

Environment & Climate Perspective

In Germany and Europe, around 90% of toys are still made from plastic due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and durability. However, plastic toys contribute to environmental harm by releasing greenhouse gases and toxic emissions during production. They are often non-biodegradable, leading to long-term pollution in landfills, oceans, and incinerators. We aim to make a positive impact by providing a platform for cycling the plastic toys as well as buying quality wooden toys that are cost-effective for families. This will lead the big players in the toy manufacturing industries to think of more sustainable and eco-friendly products in the future.
