Why these numbers look like this
Baby products face some of the strictest regulatory requirements in e-commerce—CPSIA lead testing, flammability standards, and choking hazard warnings are non-negotiable. Parents spend significantly more time researching purchases than other categories, reading reviews and safety reports before buying. Brands that invest in trust signals (pediatrician endorsements, certifications, transparent sourcing) convert at 2-3× the rate of generic listings.
