Scores are QuickRatey assessments, not customer star ratings. Missing prices or specifications are unknown, not zero. Check the current retailer listing before purchase.
| Factor | Check before buying | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Age and safety | Check current age grading, weight limits, warnings and recalls for the exact model. | Developmental suitability and choking or entrapment risks matter more than an overall score. |
| Cleaning and materials | Read cleaning instructions and the material information for parts that contact skin or food. | Repeated cleaning and sterilisation can affect components differently. |
| Fit and supervision | Confirm fit, assembly instructions and adult-supervision requirements. | A highly rated product is not a substitute for correct installation or supervision. |
Quality, Value, User Experience and Brand & Trust measure different trade-offs. The default weights are 30%, 25%, 25% and 20%; category overrides can differ. A close score gap is less useful than a clear advantage on the factor you care about. Look at the product's recorded specifications, drawbacks and source links, and distinguish a manufacturer's claim from independent testing.
