How we test baby gear

• Working parents test: reviewed by parent editors across newborn, infant, and toddler stages.
• Safety-first: car seats, sleepers, and gates are evaluated against current CPSC standards.
• Real daily use: 60-day minimum testing — short-term first impressions miss durability issues that matter.
• Travel and folding: strollers and car seats are tested in cars, trains, planes, and apartment elevators.
