The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval program was created in 1990.   The award's purpose is to identify the finest products and services being marketed to the parent/child audience.  The selection process involves a multi-step independent testing procedure over an eight week period.  The TNPC panel of volunteers is comprised of parents and educators review submissions to review the top new products for the parent/child consumer market. Products are rated in terms of desirability, sturdiness, and interactive stimulation.
