The juried section of the show represents a comprehensive collection of manufacturers within numerous product categories.

To exhibit in this area, each company had to submit an application to be juried by an independent selection committee consisting of three manufacturers, three independent retailers, a member of the ABC Kids Expo staff and a member of the media. Manufacturers and their products are reviewed annually in order to maintain compliance with Naturally Kids' selection criteria.
