our reviews

Our Mission

Our reviews of children's products are impartial and unbiased. Products reviewed on the site have been carefully selected from hundreds of products, handpicked for their superior ability to both educate and entertain children. See our How We Rate Products page for more information about our selection process. 

The Review Corner has been around since 1999, and you'll notice that we offer archived reviews. We don't delete older reviews because many products are still available, and even discontinued products can still be found in store's bargain bins and on eBay. We hope you find our reviews helpful and comprehensive.

Review Corner was started in 1999 out of the pure desire to offer independent reviews of children's products to parents, caregivers, and teachers. In 2001, Review Corner was acquired by Discovery, and came back in our hands in 2003. Discovery did a wonderful job hosting the reviews. Their site is a powerhouse of useful information.

Advertising on the site is kept to a minimum. We do not, and will not, employ pop-up ads or other distracting and annoying forms of advertisement. We provide links to buy products through an affiliate arrangement with Amazon. When readers buy products through our links, they help support Review Corner. However, it should be noted that our commissions are minimal and cover the costs of running and maintaining the domain name and the site. Our reviews remain impartial, and we never recommend products so that we can get the fifty cent commission. There are numerous outstanding products to recommend, and we have no need to push an inferior product for the sake of earning commissions.

Since Review Corner's inception in 1999, the nature of the Internet has changed drastically. For one, numerous sites have been created that act as portals to sites like Amazon, wherein they use Amazon information feeds as descriptions for products. For another, search engine rankings have changed, largely favoring sites that are heavily linked to. This has given rise to what I can only call link exchange madness. Linking to other sites, as a result, has become a business. Review Corner does not take part in link exchanges. Given these facts, Review Corner has been pushed down in search engine rankings. We hope that our readers distinguish our reviews and our site from largely commercial ones, and recognize our integrity.
