Our Recommended models are based on our safety performance score. Look at the features to see if they meet your other requirements. Some lower-scoring models (60-65%) may still be worth considering if they meet all key safety requirements, but fail some minor points (such as sides which don't meet our height requirements, but still pass our rolling cylinder test with the change mat in place). Models we don't recommend fail at least one serious safety requirement.

This overall score is based on our in-house safety performance test method.
