Built on evidence, not marketing
Every SafeNest rating comes from the same transparent process, applied the same way to all 138 toys we review — with no sponsorships or paid placements. The count comes from the live catalog, so it never drifts out of date.
Public-information research
We review published materials, dimensions, construction details, warnings, and the manufacturer's own age guidance when it is available. We do not physically or laboratory test toys.
Certification claim status
We record which certifications a manufacturer or retailer reports, and label each one by how well it is supported: documented, manufacturer-reported, retailer-reported, not found, or unclear.
CPSC recall checks
We check products against publicly available CPSC recall information and show the date of the latest recorded check. Always confirm with the official CPSC database.
Editorial scores and evidence confidence
Each toy gets a Safety and Development score with the factor weights published, plus an evidence-confidence rating. Scores are editorial assessments — not certifications or guarantees.
Safety standards manufacturers commonly cite
ASTM F963
U.S. toy safety standard
CPSIA
Federal lead & phthalate limits
EN 71
European toy safety standard
CPSC
Public recall database
We record which of these standards a manufacturer or retailer reports for each toy, and label how well that claim is supported. SafeNest does not test against these standards, does not verify compliance, and is not affiliated with these standards bodies.
