Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 15, 2025
The short version
We earn commissions when you buy products through our links. Our rankings are never influenced by who pays more — we only recommend what we'd genuinely tell a friend.
How affiliate links work
ParentRankings participates in affiliate advertising programs including Amazon Associates and direct brand affiliate programs. When you click a "Buy" or "Check Price" link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or directly.
How our rankings are determined
Every ranking is built from a defined methodology — typically a weighted scoring rubric covering criteria like safety, ease of use, value, and expert opinion. We do not accept payment to be included in rankings or to improve a product's position. A brand can't buy its way onto this site or move up in the list.
Some rankings include sponsored products clearly labeled "Sponsored." These are separate from editorial rankings and marked accordingly. Sponsored placement is always disclosed in the ranking list.
FTC compliance
In accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly. The disclosure bar at the top of every page states that ParentRankings may earn commissions from affiliate links. This page provides further detail for anyone who wants it.
