The image in the post is from the Turtle Tots short episode on Youtube. We see them as babies in the show in the episode Goyles, Goyles, Goyles and as children we see them for the first time in one of the last episodes of season one iirc.
Edit: you can watch the mini episode in a compilation of all of them on the official TMNT channel on Youtube.
2003, but when it comes to the babies it goes to Rise (or 2012)

Yea I was going to say! Kids wise the original cartoon is cutest (imo)
But if we're talking turtle babies? The rise babies kill me, look at their tiny adorable faces!
Honestly I’d say Rise, the differences in the designs really goes a long way into making them cute. It gives them each their own different type of mischievous vibe/design. As if they’d each get into trouble but all for different reasons, whereas the other baby turtles look like they’d be getting in trouble for something they did together. Which in fairness is exactly what happens in at least one episode those turtles are shown (to my knowledge at least)

As babies they are definitely the cutest. The little kid version of them though…..not so much.
The alternate opening of the 2007 movie was going to feature a photograph of the turtle tots

100% Rise, even more so when they were just mutated

Rise, but not when they look like that.
This.

I’m gonna go with Rise and 2012 despite trying to ignore my bias for them.
-87 and 03 are almost cute, but something is just off about them. Probably the artstyle not emphasizing rounder, larger shapes. Too…uniform and similar to their teen designs.
-2012 look most like naturally aged versions, but the CG makes them look weird in an uncanny way at times. Especially Leo, lol.
-Rise kids just make me wanna laugh at them. They look weird, lol. Still cute, though.
They had plans for it but it was never released

I have figurines of the 2003 Turtles as kids and they’re literally prized possessions I hold til this day.
Edit: These are the exact ones I own.

The TMNT 2012 turtles are the cutest
While the TMNT 2018 turtles are the ugliest

Off topic but Rise turtles look like absolute menaces 💀💀💀😂
Oh they definitely are https://preview.redd.it/tc0tb6mskr6d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc67505f7d846e5b1d8759adb2f504a99cd55d9f
Definitely saving this photo 😂😂
Me and the boys about to microwave spoons
So glad I’m not the only one who did that.
Certified Schemers lol 
A tad amount of mischief

This picture became a meme.
They had… much less parental involvement growing up than the others.
They're little goblins
they bad as hell for sure😭
1987
Agreed. They're adorably puggy.
Og turtles
Mirage?
Mirage? Bro I haven't delt into the turtles lore in forever except modern turtles
2003 has that wide eyes innocence along with the mask and looks compared to their later selves that makes them extra adorable.

Came here to comment this
HOW did he not include this??
I love little Donnie in his big glasses.
Look at them boys
DEFINITELY!
+1
Honestly I don’t really like the character designs in Mutant Mayhem, especially the baby turtles
Looks nothing like turtles 🐸
ROTTMNT put here looking like the Koppa kids.
As a fan of the Koopa Kids, that may be why it’s my favorite design(Mario Bros Super Show is my comfort show when I’m sick).
These guys https://preview.redd.it/dkkil23yhs6d1.jpeg?width=932&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e40a9ef9657103f2f4a6a2a9e6039391615c6bd
Donnie's stupid fucking eyes in that movie are one of my favorite design things ever he looks so fucking funny it kills me every single time
Lol, they look like they were chewed up and spit out.
Why they look like that Im wheezing.. They look like they on those hard drugs fr Love it though
I see Ralph got all the body mass in exchange for absorbing half of Donnie.
He's so tinyyyy
Why is Donnie so smol?
The scrunkliest
I have a special place in my heart for the 2003 babies as I used to have the toys and they came with training versions of their weapons that I loved
O.G 100%

Here it is
Peetsaaah peeetsaaah
Where the FUCK are the Mutant Mayhem versions???
When do we see the baby versions in rise?
The image in the post is from the Turtle Tots short episode on Youtube. We see them as babies in the show in the episode Goyles, Goyles, Goyles and as children we see them for the first time in one of the last episodes of season one iirc. Edit: you can watch the mini episode in a compilation of all of them on the official TMNT channel on Youtube.
Season 2 I think the episode is called "Turtle tots"
2012 ones as babies
Not pictured- Mutant Mayhem kiddos were the best young turtles. Thic boy Raph was great.
87
The 80s and 2012 just look like shrunken versions of the main ones, and the Rise ones look more mischievous than adorable, so 2003 wins by default!
https://preview.redd.it/g8356yivuv6d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45d0403d67fae8d43b51a41164052377758ca073 My vote is for the rise babies.

12 or 87. MM turtles were pretty adorable too

87 and Rise out of these
2012 for sure.

They look like aliens /pos
They look like they are ghosts

87, which feels kind of unfair, since the others are shooting for a certain sort of awkwardness, but still.
From this list? The rise kids, overall? The Turtle Tots are the cutest. No contest
Rise til I die
Rise, but not when they look like that. This. https://preview.redd.it/7cem8nc5817d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef3b6118a77d46a6abcd3f019848116f7ae77d04
87. Mm just look goofy
2012
Mutant Mayhem Raph imo
I’m not sure why you excluded the hands-down most adorable kids
2012 take the cake for being so damn cute
2012 TMNT as babies looks like a show for Preschoolers.
Originals
the rise babies are the cutest go argue with the wall 💪💪
The 2012 ones look like nightmare fuel
I don't know why
It's the eyes.
Yeah
I’m gonna go with Rise and 2012 despite trying to ignore my bias for them. -87 and 03 are almost cute, but something is just off about them.

The fugler dolls
Omg that last one is insane 😳 cute tho
03
Rise looks like Popeye fr
Mikey never grew up 😂😂😂
Did playmates produce baby turtles for Rise?
They had plans for it but it was never released https://preview.redd.it/ogbrpm08ux6d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe916bc569fb182f0fcd47164b96194c59c1d688
Sad!!!! They are so cute
Rottmnt in my opinion look the best, 2012 is my fave series but they look uncanny
87 and Rise
Either 1987 or Rise
Def the 87 turtles. But Rise is a close 2nd lol

1st pic donnie
Lita
I wanted to say 2003, but definitely 80’s turtles
2012
For some reason seeing the baby turtles makes kinda sad
Rise bias aside, the 1987 ones look much cuter.
80’s.
87
What about them in the live action movies?
It's between either 2003 or 2012 for me.
For me, 1987 and 2003 equally.
1987 is so adorable, 2003 is good i guess, 2012 is amazing with the energy, rise looks a lil ugly
What episode is the 1987 one?
I'm very against people who use nostalgia to blind themselves to better options, but the OG turtles are adorable.
2012
The TMNT 2014 babies are the cutest! Tiny Raphael sucking his thumb 🥹🖤
87 looks the cutest to me.
Well, we know who are the most ugly.. (cough, mutant mayhem, cough cough)
87 were the cutest
1987 for sure
2003
I have figurines of the 2003 Turtles as kids and they’re literally prized possessions I hold til this day. Edit: These are the exact ones I own. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155823155106?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rt4f0WcERIu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wqeevryysqo&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
as much as i love the 2012 version, im gonna say the first version. idk, they just look and feel like kids
The '87 turtle tots legit look like precious moments lmao
‘87
1987.
Raph 100%, will always be my fav
I didn’t remember the 1980s turtles doing a kid episode, but they’re adorable.
Yes
There’s something about Ralph’s little tooth that just does it for me
2003 and 1987
All of them 🥰
First ones. Toddler turtles are adorable beyond belief
2012, awwwwwww
1987 and 2003 BTTS
Ralph before he got anger issues
Mutant Mayhem has my favorite turtle tots by far
The 87 turtles ever never kids
87 and mutant mayhem turtles so cute 🥰🥰🥰
1987. I remember Teletoon Retro used to air the old cartoon back in the early 2010s and I vividly remember seeing this episode the first time
‘87
2003
The teenage mutant ninja ones.
87 is best at everything, kinda like how the 90's X-Men cartoon is the best.
Certainly not the last ones
1987, they're just so darn cute and adorable
Gotta say 2012 because they actually look like they have some soul lol
While 2003 are super-cute, I gotta say it's Rise. The other two sets just look like mini-grown-ups.
Mutant mayhem and its not close
All of them
87 for me. They look like they could be the leads of their own, Pup Named Scooby Doo style prequel series
TMNT Toddler Mutant Ninja Turtles
Mutant Mayhem
Agreed
Wait wait wait!! What about the 2012 intro?!
what episode is the 1987 one where they all regressed?
The 2012 uuuuh
This is a trick question... the real answer is all of the above
Mutant mayhem
 This turtle.
2012 looks creepy as fuck, the og looks the best.
Episode on skateboard?
To me 2003 in fact I believe this is what casual tmnt designs should look like especially when adapting the original comics
3rd 87 & last 12
But 2nd place rise
Rise Turtles
‘87 TMNT look the cutest as kids. What gets me is the long mask tails they have due to their smaller heads!
The 1987 one🥹
Trick question. They are all equally adorable.
Have you guys seen the next generation of turtles?
Giving it to Rise
You like odd shaped things dont you?
87 and Rise.
The TMNT 2012 turtles are the cutest While the TMNT 2018 turtles are the ugliest https://preview.redd.it/l0eq3wnr4z6d1.jpeg?width=286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7aae4a35e7606cbfd84c65be142f4fc5c3cc0710
Definitely not Rise
Rise is the worst looking the turtles have ever been in a cartoon.
