FIVE SMALL MISSIONS
Before it goes on the list,
give it a little thought.
From the first idea to the gift arriving at your door, these checks help you ask useful questions and know when to seek more information.
Check the product
Find the exact model, warnings and instructions. Search official recalls and match the identifiers.
Find reliable guidanceCheck the seller
Can you identify and contact the seller and manufacturer? Ask for missing product details.
Know what to askCheck on arrival
Match the gift to the order. Keep packaging and instructions, and check for damage or missing parts.
Use the arrival checklistShare clearly
Share the exact item and explain why it was chosen. Ask gift buyers to check before substituting.
Create a clearer wish listReviews, logos and checklists do not prove that a product is safe. Missing information is a reason to ask questions, rather than proof of a safety problem.

A list records your choices and questions; it does not certify a product’s safety.
WHEN THE GIFT ARRIVES
A lovely surprise.
A few useful checks.
Keep the details that help you identify the product later. If something worries you, pause and seek advice.
Report a product concern
Open the full FOLO-UP reporting form to record the product, seller, what you observed and supporting evidence. Your submission is a signal for evidence capture and controlled human review, not a confirmed safety finding.

RELIABLE PLACES TO START
Good questions need

SAFER ONLINE SHOPPING FOR BABY
Little lessons.
A wider community.
We’re developing a community learning project to help volunteers share practical product checks with expectant parents, carers, relatives and baby-gift buyers.
Our proposed approach combines small-group workshops, realistic shopping scenarios, teach-back and reusable resources. Printed materials and supported discussion will sit alongside mobile-friendly tools.

These are proposed targets, not achieved outcomes. The draft plan runs from 23 November 2026 to 3 March 2027. Hounslow is the provisional delivery area; dates, partners and locations remain to be confirmed.
The project’s funding application is in preparation. No OPSS award or endorsement is claimed. Participation in any funded training is intended to be free, with no purchase, extension or AI account required.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Questions
worth asking.
Does a place on my list mean a product is safe?
No. This tool helps record choices, product details and questions. A favourable review, logo or completed checklist is not a guarantee. Ask for product-specific information when claims cannot be independently checked.
What if the seller only gives a generic safety claim?
Ask for evidence tied to the exact product and model: the applicable standard and edition, issuer, report or certificate number, and relevant technical information. A generic standards reference alone does not establish conformity.
What if I’m worried about a gift or online listing?
Keep the product identifiers, order details, instructions and listing screenshots if safe to do so. Use the official reporting route for your UK nation. FOLO-UP’s Whistle tool can optionally capture a listing signal for controlled human review; it does not confirm that a product is unsafe.
If someone is in immediate danger or seriously injured, call 999.
Can I use this without a phone or an account?
Yes. Print a blank shopping and wish-list template or complete the list here and print it. No login is needed. You can also ask us about accessible formats or proposed community sessions.
What is outside this project?
The focus is learning about consumer products for children under five, such as toys, clothing and nursery products. It excludes food, formula, chemicals, medical products and vehicles. We do not provide medical advice, certify products or fund shopping purchases and baby-shower parties.
Who is behind Babyshower List?
Babyshower List supports FOLO-UP’s Safer Online Shopping for Baby initiative. IRELCO LTD (company number 15377065) is the draft project applicant. FOLO-UP is an independent public-interest product-safety initiative, not a regulator. We consult official UK product-safety guidance and engage with relevant authorities, consumer organisations and specialist bodies where appropriate.
