BabyTools
Children’s cushion

The child cushion from BabyTools makes a very good impression. The product has a high-quality finish and impresses with its simple and appealing design. It is also breathable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. The use of high-tech fibers ensures optimum ventilation and prevents waterlogging, mould and mite formation. The manufacturer’s money-back guarantee should also be emphasized if you are not satisfied. The product is made from 100% OEKO-Tex certified cotton. This guarantees that the pillow is free of harmful substances . Thanks to its height of 2 cm, it provides excellent support for the neck and shoulder muscles. A product description in German or English and a removable and washable cover would have been desirable. With a size of 40×60 cm, the flat, rectangular children’s pillow is ideally suited to the needs of toddlers and children up to 4 years of age and is very suitable for a wide variety of sleeping positions.

The test

General information

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, which forms the basis of all our product ratings, please click here.

The first impression

Packaging and labeling

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

Shipping carton

The child cushion from BabyTools is supplied in a classic shipping box. The cushion is rolled up and packed in plastic. To ensure that the product packaging is not damaged during transportation, shipping paper can be inserted into the shipping box.
This ensures that the product is fully protected and the child cushion is in perfect condition.
It should be particularly emphasized that only recyclable, renewable materials (paper/cardboard) are used for the outer packaging (shipping carton). Sustainable product packaging for the cushion would also have been desirable. The plastic packaging was also difficult to remove.

After unpacking

Package contents and instructions

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*The maximum score is 100 points

The packaging only contains the children’s pillow, according to the Amazon description you would have expected an additional cotton pillowcase. This is probably a translation error. No pillowcase can be seen in the product pictures. It is also a shame that the information on the product packaging is only in Italian . There is a label on the cushion with information about the material composition and care instructions. The cushion cover is made of 100% cotton and the cushion filling is made of 100% polyester. According to the manufacturer, the children’s cushion should be washed by hand and dried on a line.
The manufacturer’s address is stated on the product packaging. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find a telephone number or support email.
Overall, this is a well thought-out way of presenting and shipping the product.

Product description

The BabyTools child cushion makes a very good visual impression in the test. In addition to its simple design, it has no manufacturing defects and is of high quality.
The product does not smell of chemicals, so it does not need to be aired and can be used straight away. As the children’s pillow measuring 40×60 cm is a standard size, commercially available pillowcases can be used. It is particularly noteworthy that the pillow has been manufactured in accordance with the OEKO Tex Standard 100. This means that all components of the pillow are harmless to health as they have been tested for harmful substances.
Unfortunately, no information is provided on sustainability.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

We really liked the BabyTools children’s pillow in the test. The sleeping comfort is very pleasant and offers ideal support for the head and neck thanks to the correct height of the pillow. The height of 2 cm is not only good for the developing muscles, but also for the correct alignment of the spine.
On a positive note, the manufacturer offers a money-back guarantee in the event of dissatisfaction.
The manufacturer advertises the product as being breathable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. The use of high-tech fibers ensures optimum ventilation and prevents waterlogging, mould and mite formation. The product properties are fully met. Hand washing is recommended to prevent the wadding from slipping. Any stains were easy to remove and the wadding did not clump together. However, a removable cover for cleaning would be desirable. Overall, this is a very good product. With a size of 40×60 cm, the flat, rectangular children’s pillow is ideally suited to the needs of toddlers and children up to 4 years of age and is very suitable for a wide variety of sleeping positions.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioGood90 points
Rating cut4.2 out of 5.0 on Amazon60 points
Total80 points
Weighting: 20%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.2 stars. One common complaint is that the filling clumps together after washing. Many customers like the very good quality. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the product is made to a high standard and we have not yet been able to detect any clumping after washing.

Prices of up to €35.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €14.95. With a price of €14.95, the BabyTools children’s pillow is currently in the lower price segment. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of services offered.
