What our badges mean
- Safety notes checked: guide includes cautions and a recall link; it is not a certification.
- Verified owner signal: rating, count, source, and check date are shown.
- Parent-first pick: fits a stated use case; it is not a standards-body endorsement.
- Screen-free: core child play needs no screen; adult setup may still use a device.
Editorial guardrail
We keep official recall, manufacturer statement, retailer rating, and owner complaint as separate evidence types. We do not label a product unsafe without an attributable official basis.
