A good toy has to survive two tests: the kid test and the parent test. We check both.
If a toy is a dud, we say so.
We look for toys kids come back to, not ones that are exciting for one afternoon.
Age ratings, small parts and build quality matter. We point out which ages each pick suits.
Price matters, but so does how long it gets used. Cheap and broken is not a bargain.
Setup time, noise, batteries and storage. The stuff the box does not mention.
