iParenting Media Awards Announces Outstanding Products of 2007
Evanston, IL - iParenting Media Awards announces the winners of our Outstanding Products of 2007 Call for Entry, during which we evaluated items ranging from fun ride-on toys and intriguing games, high-tech software and safety items, educational books and videos to food and beverages. All of the items were thoroughly evaluated by experienced reviewers to determine which ones met or exceeded iParenting's standards to earn an award.
The evaluation process created by the iParenting Media Awards program is so thorough it has attained ISO 9001:2000 Certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO is the world's largest developer of standardization regulations, and ISO 9001:2000 is an internationally recognized standard of quality assurance. Only a fraction of the companies that attempt this certification achieve it.
"At iParenting, we know what a challenge it is for parents to find outstanding products for their families. Thatís why we created the iParenting Media Awards program to thoroughly review products and then recognize only the best ones and share them with our audience," says Alvin All, Chief Executive Officer of iParenting Media. "During our Outstanding Products Call for Entry, our professional reviewers carefully evaluated more than a thousand items, but only the ones that met or exceeded our high standards earned the iParenting Media Award. We believe iParenting Media Awards is the largest certified and audited evaluation system of children's and parenting products in the industry, and this should give parents comfort that we are screening the same items they are exposed to in the marketplace."
To be considered for an award, each company submitted four identical samples of each product, which were then precisely matched within iParenting's database of hundreds of experienced reviewers using iParenting's state-of-the-art technology. An expert, a childcare setting and a family reviewed the products and submitted a thorough evaluation of each item. Results were compiled and submitted to the iParenting Media Executive Committee for final approval. The end result of this comprehensive process is a list of award-winning products families can feel confident in purchasing for their loved ones.
