The Made Standard
How it's made, wherever it's made.
What a baby product is built from, what it's tested against, and who says so — with the source for every claim. We record where things are made as a fact, not a verdict.

Safety standards
What the marks actually mean
CE, UKCA, CPSIA, GOTS, OEKO-TEX. Different regions require different tests, and the differences are real — but they're rarely explained anywhere a parent can find them. Each explainer says what a standard covers, what it doesn't, and links to the regulation itself.
Safety Watch
Popular products deserve a careful look at their record.
We don't just list brands — we list their safety record, too. The Safety Watch shows every directory brand that a regulator has recalled, with the authority's own finding linked and most-recalled first. No commentary from us — just the notices, cited to the regulator that published them.
Guides & Resources
From our guides
Plain-spoken help for reading labels and understanding what testing marks actually certify — so you can judge a product yourself rather than take anyone's word for it.
The Hype vs. the Recall Record
Popularity is not safety. The most-bought baby products have also produced the largest recalls. One case study, and how to check any product's record.
The Safety Marks of the World: CE, UKCA, CCPSA, ST and AS/NZS
A plain-language map of the safety marks that protect babies and kids in each major market — and what each one does and doesn't actually mean.
How to Read a Baby Product Recall Notice
Recalls are the most honest safety information a regulator publishes — and the hardest to read. A two-minute guide to finding the facts that matter.
"I started this because my first child is due in July — and I couldn't work out what anything was actually made of. Every label said 'safe' and none of them said how. So I started writing down the sources."Meet the founder →
