The USA National Parenting Center has very recently rewarded the Yepp Mini and the Yepp Maxi with the prestigious “Seal of Approval 2012”.

The National Parenting Center is providing the most comprehensive and responsible parenting advice to parents everywhere. The advice provided is furnished by some of the world's most respected authorities in the field of child rearing and development.

The “Seal of Approval” testing involves a multi-step process conducted over an eight week period. Staffed by volunteers, the testing facility of The National Parenting Center gives parents, children, and educators the opportunity to examine a variety of submitted products. The testers are encouraged to play with, build, read about, and judge by the reactions of the children, each product's quality.

Participants evaluate each product's level of desirability, sturdiness, interactive stimulation and other ingredients essential in the make-up of a quality product.

Test results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received from the parent/testers.

The Seal of Approval program is designed to help create better informed parents as they tackle the challenges of parenting in the new millennium.

This award signifies to other parents that their peers have acknowledged a product's quality and desirability based on a wide variety of determining factors.
