Product Reviewing and Testing on MadeForMums: how to take part
Hi everyone. We offer so many different types of product reviewing and testing on MadeForMums, we thought it would be good to set out all the various ways you can take part.
Product Tests
• These are
recruited for on the forum in our Product Tests topic here.
• We run
product tests, for different parenting brands, on anything from buggies to
stretch mark cream to baby food.
• If you are chosen to be a product tester, you will be sent the product
to test out and asked to provide your feedback and some pictures on a forum
thread.
How do I take part in Product Tests?
1. You need to
be signed up to MadeForMums: register here.
2. Look out for
new product test recruitment threads: these will always be posted here.
3. Look out for
news of new product tests in our weekly newsletter: you can sign up for that here.
Judging for
Awards
• Every year, MadeForMums runs both the MadeForMums Awards for all
parenting products (except toys) and the MadeForMums Toy Awards (just for toys).
For the MadeForMums Awards, we recruit parent judges, and for the MadeForMums
Toy Awards, we recruit child (and baby) judges.
• We recruit for the MadeForMums parents judges in November or December and for the
MadeForMums Toy Awards child judges in June or July.

Home Testing
• We also run a
home testing programme for parenting products and toys.
• We select
people to become Home Testers from all those who have left at least 1 short (100 to 150 words) review on any of
our existing product review articles. This includes reviews for products such
as pushchairs, car seats or nappies.
