La Baby Doll

La Baby Doll

We like truth in advertising. In the case of La Baby Doll the package states that it really does look and feel like a real baby! You’ll get no argument from our testers who thought that the facial features, hands, fingers, feet, and toes were all quite realistic. This isn’t your typically stiff plastic baby

Leaps and Ledges

Leaps and Ledges

From the moment our testers saw the brightly colored box that Leaps and Ledges came in there was a “hurry up and open it” feeling in the room. Once open the vibrant colors and shapes did nothing to diminish the growing enthusiasm. A little bit of Jenga mixed with a dash of Sorry! revved up

Cozy Comforts Kitchen

Cozy Comforts Kitchen

The set comes with twenty-two accessories, including cooking utensils, eating utensils, a toaster oven (complete with toast), and even a throw-back kitchen phone (remember them?). The coffee maker impressed parents for its

Superyard Colorplay

HOW IT WORKS

Parents and children, experience and review submitted products and services either already released or coming to market.

Participants fill out questionnaires for each product or service they test. They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.

There are three testing periods each year:
