About
Hi, I'm Sarah.
I write the reviews on BabyGearWise — one person and a lot of reading. No marketing team, no content farm.
Reviewing since 2023
“You shouldn’t have to become a safety expert to buy a car seat. So I read everything, and give you the short answer.”
That’s the whole jobHow I review
Five things, every single time.
- 01
Safety data first
NHTSA crash-test ratings, IIHS results, and the federal standard every seat has to meet.
- 02
The numbers that matter
Real sizes, weight and height limits, expiry dates — whether it actually fits your car and your budget.
- 03
Thousands of parents, not just me
Verified owner reviews, read in bulk. If hundreds report the same problem, you’ll hear about it.
- 04
Recalls, watched daily
Straight from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. If it’s recalled, it’s flagged here.
- 05
Honest about the rest
If I’ve used something, I’ll say so. If I haven’t, I won’t pretend I have.
What I don’t do
Three promises, kept on every page.
How this is funded
I earn a commission when you buy through links on this site. It costs you nothing extra, and it’s what keeps the reviews free. No brand has ever paid for a recommendation.
Spotted something wrong?
If a weight limit, an expiry date or a price has moved, tell me and I’ll fix it. Being corrected is part of the job.
