The Junion family spans several categories designed to cover common needs in child care and development. The initial row consolidates essentials for mobility and daily care, including car seats and high chairs. Junion Sport focuses on active gear such as tricycles, balance bikes, and scooters, while Junion Creative centers on hobby and craft items that engage a child’s imagination.

All products in the Junion line are developed by the Yandex Market team, with oversight maintained throughout manufacturing. The production process involves both domestic and international factories, ensuring consistent quality control from design through final assembly. Notably, car seats comply with both Russian and international safety standards, including ECE R44, reflecting a commitment to rigorous safety benchmarks. The company also highlights attention to aesthetics, working with an automotive industrial designer to shape the look and feel of the car seats. This emphasis on design alongside safety aligns with contemporary consumer expectations for products used in daily family life. Source: Yandex Market.
Yandex Market began expanding its own brand portfolio in late 2021, introducing durable goods across several product families. The initial rollout included more than 70 durable items, establishing a foundation for future private label growth. In the following season, the platform introduced electronic accessories under the Commo brand, signaling a broader strategy to diversify offerings beyond traditional consumer goods. Plans for ongoing expansion indicate a continued commitment to building recognizable, in-house brands that resonate with a growing audience in North America and beyond. Source: Yandex Market.
