The babyMaternity Magazine Awards Program stands out for its unique approach to product evaluation. Rather than having a single reviewer assess the submitted products, the program enlists a diverse group of new moms and moms-to-be to provide feedback. This collective review process ensures that each product is reviewed from multiple perspectives, giving a more comprehensive and realistic evaluation, helping new moms and moms-to-be make informed decisions about which products to bring into their homes.
This approach is also valuable because it prioritizes insights from those who have firsthand knowledge of what works and what doesn’t in the context of motherhood.
Monthly Reviews are held in Henderson, NV where over a 60 reviewers consisting of new moms and moms-to-be are invited to a local conference center to participate in our product review. All products are divided into categories and displayed at various stations. Guest reviewers are asked to sit and review each product at every station. This allows for each product to receive multiple reviews.
An online review form is provided to each guest reviewer to aid them in their evaluation of each product. The online review forms are to include written comments and a score value based on criteria that corresponds to the product's category. Upon completion of the event, all scores are tabulated and comments are reviewed.
Based on the scores and comments, some products are then chosen to be given a top award such as the Top Choice of the Year, Product of the Year, and Top Travel Product of the Year. In addition to our top awards we also have the prestigious Preferred Choice and the Seal of Excellence which are awarded based on a products ability to exceed expectations in design and quality.
The Baby Maternity Awards seals are a distinguishing mark of achievement and desirability.
All products submitted, regardless of their award results, are officially announced on our website.
Note - The babyMaternity Magazine Awards Program is not a testing program that examines each product on how it adheres to safety for expecting mothers and babies. All reviews are strictly based on the opinions of parents, not safety professionals. We recommend that if you have a concern regarding any of the products featured on our website or published in babyMaternity Magazine please contact the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
