How I test

I only review things I own and use myself, for at least 6 months.

My three verdicts

Rebuy: I couldn't live without it.

Fine: useful, but I could live without it.

Skip: useless, not good, or only needed for a very short time.

How long I use things

At least 6 months of real use before I review something, unless it's only useful for a few weeks (that usually earns a skip). Each review says how many months I used it.

What I look at

How long you'll actually need it. How it holds up to wear and tear. How easy it is to take with you. How easy it is to wash. And yes, whether it's pretty.

Safety checks

Before a car seat or sleep product goes on this site, I check it against Health Canada's recall list. Car seats must have the Canadian National Safety Mark.
