Plain terms for a site that sells nothing and asks for nothing. The important part is the safety disclaimer.

Agreement to these terms
By using Buckle & Buggy you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. Buckle & Buggy is operated by Janet Media Group (https://janetmediagroup.com), referred to below as "we" and "us".
There is nothing to buy here, no account to create and no subscription. These terms exist because the site publishes information about child safety products, and both of us should be clear about what that information is.
The safety disclaimer — read this one
- Manufacturer instructions govern your product. Height and weight limits, belt paths, recline settings, approved accessories and useful life are set by the manufacturer of your specific model, and a general description here cannot override the manual that came in the box.
- Specifications change without notice. Manufacturers revise shells, limits and fabrics, sometimes without changing a model name. Every figure here carries the date we read it; treat the current manual as authoritative.
- Law varies by state and changes. Our state pages cite the state's own source and the date we read it. Confirm the current requirement with your state before relying on it.
- Get your installation checked in person. Inspection stations staffed by certified technicians are generally free — find one through Safe Kids Worldwide or NHTSA.
- We do not give medical advice. Where a child is premature, low-birthweight or has a medical condition, follow their clinical team's guidance over anything on this site.
Affiliate links
This site contains affiliate links. When you follow one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The full explanation is in the affiliate disclosure, and it forms part of these terms.
When you follow a product link you leave this site. Anything that happens after that — pricing, availability, payment, shipping, returns, warranty and the retailer's own terms — is between you and that retailer. We are not a party to your purchase, we cannot amend an order, and we cannot resolve a dispute with a retailer on your behalf.
Prices and availability at any retailer change constantly. There are no prices printed on this site precisely because of that, and every buy button sends you to the retailer for the current figure.
Acceptable use
- You may read, print and share pages from this site for personal, non-commercial use, and you may quote briefly with attribution and a link.
- You may not republish substantial portions of the content, or reproduce it in a way that presents our research as your own.
- You may not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other readers, or attempt to interfere with its operation or security.
- You may not use the contact form to send bulk, automated or commercial solicitation. It is rate-limited, and abuse is blocked.
- You may not misrepresent an affiliation with us, or use our name or wordmark in a way that implies endorsement.
Intellectual property
The text, structure, scoring criteria, wordmark and design of this site are owned by Janet Media Group. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and reference only — their appearance here does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement in either direction.
Photographs on this site are licensed stock images of product categories, not photographs of specific models, and they are labeled as such where they appear. Links to third-party sources are provided for verification; we do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content.
No warranty and limitation of liability
The site is provided on an as-is basis. We work hard on accuracy — every specification names its source and every safety claim cites a primary source — but we do not warrant that the site is complete, current or error-free, and we do not warrant that it will be available uninterrupted.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from reliance on its contents, including any purchasing decision. Your car seat manual, your vehicle manual, the applicable law in your state, and a certified technician are the authorities for your situation. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Changes, and how to reach us
We may update these terms. The modified date at the top of this page changes when we do, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Questions about these terms, or a correction to anything on the site, go to contact@buckleandbuggy.com or through the contact page. Corrections go to the front of the queue.
