Affiliate Disclosure
How We Make Money
TopCarSeats.com is a free resource for parents. We do not charge for our reviews, guides, or recommendations. To keep this website running and continue providing helpful content, we earn money through affiliate partnerships.
This page explains how our affiliate relationships work and how they may affect you.
What Are Affiliate Links
Some links on our website are affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate links help us cover the costs of running this website, including hosting, research, and content creation.
Our Affiliate Partners
Amazon Associates Program
TopCarSeats.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means when you click on an Amazon link on our site and buy a product, we may receive a small percentage of that sale.
Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we may participate in other affiliate programs with retailers and brands in the baby and child safety industry. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Direct partnerships with car seat manufacturers
- Baby gear retailers
- Other e-commerce platforms
We will always disclose when a link is an affiliate link.
How We Choose Products to Recommend
Our affiliate relationships do not influence which products we recommend. We choose products based on:
- Safety ratings and crash test performance
- Ease of installation and use
- Build quality and durability
- Parent reviews and feedback
- Value for money across all price points
- Our own hands-on research and testing
We recommend products we genuinely believe will help parents keep their children safe. If a product does not meet our standards, we will not recommend it, regardless of affiliate commission rates.
Our Promise to You
Honesty First
We will never recommend a product just because it pays a higher commission. Our reputation depends on providing trustworthy, accurate information to parents.
Transparency
We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships on this page and throughout our website. You deserve to know how we make money.
No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. You pay the same price as if you visited the retailer directly.
Your Trust Matters
We understand that parents trust us with recommendations that affect their children’s safety. We take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your family, not to make a quick sale.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
The FTC requires that we disclose any relationship we have with companies whose products or services we recommend. This affiliate disclosure page, along with disclosures within our content, fulfills that requirement.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
We use affiliate links throughout our website, including in:
- Product reviews
- Comparison articles
- Buying guides
- Best-of roundups
- Resource pages
In some cases, we may include a brief disclosure statement near affiliate links such as “As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases” or “This post contains affiliate links.”
