Scuttlebug

Scuttlebug

Mookie Toys collected more than a few fans in this latest round of product testing.

It was apparent from the start that a whole lot of thought was

Little Tikes Splash Hit Tennis

Na! Na! Na! Surprise Series 2

Potty Time ADVENTURES

Over the years, countless potty-training products have come through our testing centers, and while the right intention is always there, in quite a few cases, the execution, and most importantly, the success rate falls short.

HOW IT WORKS

 

A Seal of Approval review involves a multi-step process conducted over an eight-week period.

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:
