About Cribpicks

Cribpicks started the way a lot of baby gear research does: a new parent, a long registry, and forty browser tabs of product pages that all claimed to be the best.

Every product page and retailer listing says something different. Cribpicks puts the numbers makers publish side by side, so you can compare what matters to you without a sales pitch in the way.

We're independent. No brand owns us or pays for placement, and no brand sees what we write before it's published. Sometimes a brand sends us a product for free; when that happens, the page that features it says so. We don't rank products or pick winners. We show the specs and let you decide.

How we work

Specs come from the maker's own manual or product page, and we link the source. If the maker doesn't publish a number, we leave it blank rather than guess.

Safety limits for car seats, sleep products and carriers come only from the maker. Health and safety guidance quotes the agency that gives it, like the AAP, CDC or CPSC, with a link.

Most pages compare published specs. When we've used a product ourselves, the page says so at the top and sticks to what we actually saw.

We don't publish recall information of our own; each product page links to the agency's recall search. See where to check for recalls.
