Editorial Policy

What the reviews here rest on, where opinions are marked as opinions, and what happens when something turns out wrong.

Every review here rests on three things: what the piece itself prints on its label, the rules that toys like it have to meet in the United States, and the scores other buyers leave. Each page names which of the three it leans on.

Where those three cannot answer a question, the page says so in a sentence instead of filling the gap. A measurement nobody took is worse than no measurement at all, and a feature nobody claims is not a feature.

Opinions here stay opinions. Calling a piece the best of a group means it answers one job better than the rest of that group, not that it suits every baby.

Where health or safety comes into it, these pages quote the public guidance word for word, print the date somebody read it and link to it. Nothing here turns medical guidance into advice of its own.

Prices and availability move. Every figure comes from the last refresh, the date sits on the page, and a shop showing something different wins the argument.

Mistakes get fixed in place, with a line saying what changed. Write in and somebody reads it.
