01 / Methodology
How we ranked these products
Our evaluations are research-based, not hands-on. We build each ranking from published manufacturer specifications, the manufacturer's own data and warranty terms, and patterns across verified-purchase owner reviews. We weigh quality, durability, ease of use, value, and child-specific fit (comfort, sizing accuracy, durability through play). We accept no payment for placement. Full process: how we evaluate products.
