Hasbro Family Game Night 2

Hasbro Family Game Night 2

From the moment our testers took the wrapping off of this video game we knew we had a hit on our hands. The fun and excitement our testers had from very young to well, let’s just say more senior, was palpable. Each and every person who took a Wii remote in their hand and played […]

Nerf "N-Strike" Elite

Nerf “N-Strike” Elite

A great video game and perhaps an even greater toy, the Nerf “N-Strike” Elite is both and handles the duel roles brilliantly. Whether you are playing Nerf war with friends or siblings in the house or fixing your Wii controller in the gun and shooting at the screen in a fun and relatively non-violent shooter

On The Fly™ Starter Kit

On The Fly™ Starter Kit

A truly great concept that our testers felt was a long time in coming. Thrilled that there was finally an easy way to warm a bottle on the go. The cow print is very stylish and caught everyone’s eye. The packaging, which shows the product off so well got very high marks from our testers.

Addition & Subtraction Rap

The Rock ‘N Learn legend continues to grow with brilliantly produced and wonderfully executed musical CD’s that magically educate as they entertain. How they balance the mix between the two is nothing short of amazing. In this rapping CD they don’t rely on corny lyrics smashed into a rapping device, they creatively embrace the style

Base Line Table & Chairs

Base Line Table & Chairs

Everyone needs a place of their own, to spread out, get to work, explore, play, etc. This wonderful set, which includes a strong solid table and four equally sturdy molded plastic chairs are made for toddlers to get down to the business of play. Being able to raise the level of activity from the floor

100 Really Dumb Things

100 Really Dumb Things

As parents we know that “dumb” is a word we don’t endorse and often frown on. In the case of this game frowning is the last thing our testers did. In fact everyone who played reported that all they experienced was a really great evening of laughter with the whole family. With each round the

Collect & Build Moto-Bots Turbo

Building things with construction sets is always great fun and lends itself to open ended creative play, but there is something special when you add automation to the finished product and watch it come to life. That’s what Moto-Bots, from the geniuses who brought us the incomparable K’Nex system, is all about. Our testers were

KNEX Lava Launch Coaster

There is something special about opening up a brand new K’Nex Construction Set, rolling up your sleeves and getting to work. Whether alone or, better yet, with a partner/parent, the camaraderie of getting the right pieces built and connected has been described by several of our testers as a transcendental experience. We’re not going to

Bebe Tresor

Bebe Tresor

For parents with children who have a penchant for dolls Bebe Tresor had an immediate appeal. Perhaps it was her true-to-life size, or maybe it was the faint vanilla scent of the doll. Our guess is that she was so soft, lightweight and easy to cuddle. Children loved being able to give Bebe her pacifier

My Wall Easel

Everyone needs a creative place to call their own. An outlet for their expressive nature, where rainbows and dolphins and houses and bright yellow suns can shine. Being able to have a place hanging on the wall, ready and accessible whenever the mood strikes is such a marvelous gift to give your child. Our testers

HOW IT WORKS

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:
