The Bump and Consumer Reports Team Up to Offer Trusted Product Reviews

Parenting is tough, but finding the right products to help make your life a little easier (and safer) shouldn’t be. Today, The Bump announced a new partnership with Consumer Reports (CR), one of the most respected names in consumer advocacy, to help parents and parents-to-be make empowered decisions about what to buy for their families.

To provide our readers with trusted reviews and recommendations, The Bump editors spend countless hours digging into the features and functionalities that new and expectant parents truly need out of their products—and then have those products tested by moms and dads in their homes and with their kids to assess how items hold up in real-life scenarios. By teaming up with CR, one of the nation’s leading nonprofit organizations in independent product research and testing, we’re now able to offer even more insight on products you can trust for your growing family. That includes additional details on lab testing results, new interactive ways to find products that meet your specific needs and discounted access to CR’s 10,000+ scientific reviews of products and services.

Since 1936, Consumer Reports has served as a resource for unbiased information about the safety and performance of products on the market. The 88-year-old organization has over 140 scientists, researchers and technicians working in their 63 labs and auto test center, all dedicated to helping shoppers make informed buying decisions.

As part of this year-long partnership, The Bump readers will receive an exclusive 25 percent discount on an annual CR membership—which, in addition to thousands of product reviews, includes automated alerts for food and product recalls and other easy-to-use tools that help keep your family safer and save you money.

Plus, parents and parents-to-be can now find CR’s interactive car seat finder quiz on TheBump.com. Answer a few questions about what you need and want out of a car seat, and the finder will offer up customized recommendations for products that have earned top performance scores. We’re also layering those scores, based on CR’s laboratory tests for crash safety, ease of use and vehicle installation, into The Bump’s real-world parent reviews of infant and convertible car seats, so you can confidently shop for your little ones.
