Our Evaluation Process:<\/h4>\n

We use real parents for our evaluation team. Many of our moms and dads are also pediatric nurses, educators and child development experts. We send them the products and they send back their honest feedback. In order to be a NAPPA Award winner, your product must meet the \u201cparent test\u201d \u2013 do they feel comfortable using this product for their own child, would they buy it for themselves, do they feel that this is a quality product with safe materials and good design.<\/p>\n
