PickedBaby

Editorial policy

Last updated

This policy applies to every page on PickedBaby. Because our topics affect children’s safety and health, we hold ourselves to a health-site standard.

Independence

  • Child safety and health decide what we cover and recommend, ahead of commission.
  • Commission never changes a ranking. If the safest pick has no affiliate program, it still wins.
  • No sponsored placements, paid reviews or free-product deals in exchange for coverage.
  • We avoid supplements, medications and health claims for products marketed to babies.

Sourcing

  • Medical and safety claims cite only authoritative sources: AAP, CDC, FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and peer-reviewed research.
  • Retailer pages are used for price and specs only.
  • We cite only pages we actually opened and read, and list them at the bottom of each page with dates.
  • No fear-mongering and no vague “non-toxic” claims without a named certification or test.

Method

  • Pages are research-based: we haven’t tested the products ourselves and say so on every page.
  • No scores, star ratings or invented quotes.
  • Every page has a short direct answer at the top, a “Recalls checked” date, a “Skip this” section and a free or budget option.
  • We never give medical advice and tell parents to ask their pediatrician about health questions.

Updates and corrections

We show a last-updated date and a prices-checked month, and re-check recalls on every refresh. Safety errors are fixed immediately; see our corrections policy or email hello@pickedbaby.com.
