Surrey infant Aren Khazaee competes for Baby of the Year title

A family in Surrey is campaigning for their six-month-old son, Aren Khazaee, to be named the 2026 Baby of the Year. The competition features a tournament-style format where winners receive $25,000 and a national advertising campaign with The Honest Company, as well as an advertorial in Variety magazine.

Public voting is conducted through multiple rounds, allowing supporters to cast free daily votes or vote via donations. The competition also serves a charitable purpose, as funds raised support Baby2Baby, a California-based nonprofit that provides essential items like diapers and clothing to children in need.
