If we can’t verify it, we say so.

Always read the current label before you buy. Our methodology explains how products are researched.

   Listed

   After a one-day window the editor can use to stop it, and re-checked over time

1. 01In scopeA pregnancy, postpartum or baby product for 0–24 months. No food supplements, medicines or medical devices.
2. 02The exact product is identifiableWe vet one specific product or variant, and that is the one we list. A colourway we have not checked is not covered.
3. 03Full material or ingredient disclosureEvery main material, and every material that touches skin, milk or mouth, is named. Formulated products need the complete ingredient list.
4. 04No vague words instead of facts“Proprietary blend”, “eco fabric”, “plant-based”, “safe materials”, “natural fragrance” or “BPA-free plastic” on their own do not count as disclosure.
5. 05Certificates that check outCurrent, verified in the issuer’s registry and covering this product, not just the brand. Unverified certificates are never shown.
6. 06Evidence we can traceKey claims rest on a certificate, a test report, a registry or the brand’s own statement for this product. Marketing copy alone is not enough.
7. 07No open safety recallWe check the EU Safety Gate. An unresolved recall stops the listing until a person has reviewed it.

• Touches skin now and then, usually over clothes

  Carrier straps, stroller and bouncer seats, high-chair trays, rain jackets, the core of a diaper.

  Every material named. Synthetics only when fully disclosed. For gear the plant-based or plastic-free choice is shown as an attribute.

• Structure, no contact

  Car-seat shell, buckle internals, a bottle collar outside the milk path.

  Synthetic materials can be fine if nothing else is excluded.

  4 rules

  • No documented EU safety approval (e.g. UN R129)
  • Undisclosed foam in car seats and strollers
  • Flame-retardant approach shown as an attribute
  • No EN 71/CE for toys

For car seats, mattresses, loungers and similar products our material assessment never replaces safety standards or official guidance on correct use. Those product pages carry a reminder.

• Verified

  A certifier’s registry or a test report confirms it for this product. It never means we tested it ourselves.

• Brand states

  The brand states it for this specific product. We quote the sentence, and filters leave these out unless you include brand statements.

• No information

  We found nothing either way. Shown as “no information”, never as absence.

• Contains

  The substance or treatment is identified. Always shown first, on the card and on the page.

• Held, not hedged

  If something we require is missing, the product waits. We do not publish a “maybe” list.

• Kept current

  Links, prices and Sweden shipping re-checked at least every 90 days; materials and ingredients every 180.

A certificate helps only for the scope it really covers, and never replaces disclosure. A certified product that contains an excluded material still does not pass.

• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 counts only for product class I, and only when its scope covers the finished article. It shows as “no restricted flame retardants (tested)”, never as flame-retardant-free.
• GOTS counts for textile-only products. GREENGUARD Gold speaks only about emissions.
• A certificate number that no registry confirms is never shown.

Brands cannot pay to be listed, ranked or reviewed. Some shop links earn us a commission; that never decides what passes or in which order shops appear. Read the affiliate disclosure.

Why

Pregnancy and the first years come with endless product choices and very little time. European Edit exists so parents in Sweden can find baby products whose materials have been checked properly, from brands that ship here, without having to read every label themselves.
