About
About Parker & Darcy
A friendly, data-led guide to UK baby gear.
What we're here for
We started Parker & Darcy as parents to Parker and Darcy, because choosing baby gear felt overwhelming and there was nowhere to compare products side by side. Safety matters most to us, which is why official GOV.UK recall notices sit in one place here. Parker & Darcy is here to make big baby purchases feel a little less overwhelming. We help UK parents compare prams and travel systems, car seats, high chairs, baby monitors and cots and cribs. We collect published product specifications, link you to UK retailers for current prices, and list relevant safety recalls from GOV.UK, which we check every weekday.
The site is faceless by design. There are no personal reviews or stories, and nothing here is presented as a parent's first-hand experience. Our legal contact details are on the contact & imprint page.
How we compare things
- Spec data, not hands-on testing. We do not physically test, handle or use the products we list, and we never claim to. Comparisons are based on manufacturer and retailer listings.
- Specs come from published listings. Where we show a specification, it will link to its source. Listings can change or contain errors, so check the retailer's page before you buy.
- No prices shown. We don't display prices yet. Each product has a button that takes you to the retailer, where you can see the current price. Prices change, so always confirm at the retailer.
- Safety notices come from GOV.UK. We list recalls and safety reports from the official Office for Product Safety and Standards feed and link to the original notice.
How we use AI
We use AI tools to help gather and organise data, draft and edit text, and build and maintain this website. Product comparisons and guides are checked by a person before they're published. Recall notices are added automatically from the official GOV.UK feed each weekday and link to the original notice. AI can make mistakes, so always check the retailer's page and the official notice before you buy.
How we make money
Some links to retailers will be affiliate links, labelled Ad. We may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
Not professional advice
Information here is general. It isn't medical, legal or safety advice. For car seats in particular, follow the manufacturer's instructions and official GOV.UK guidance.
