If there is anything parents hate, it’s budol buys. You know, those items you only add to cart and check out because of a trending video or OA review. You end up regretting them because they don’t live up to the hype.
The best way to avoid it? Find products that moms and dads actually recommend.
Last September 2021, we asked our readers to choose the best products for moms, babies, and Filipino homes via a survey. We also asked about the celebrity parents and family they follow and love the most.
The survey’s result has now been turned into our first-ever Smart Parenting Awards.
With insights from Smart Parenting editors and reviews from the Smart Parenting Mom and Dad Squad members, we broke down the survey results and ranked the contenders according to features, user reviews, and value-for-money.
What you have is a list of products moms and dads love.
