Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it

Solly Baby writes headlines like a parent who has been there ("Your secret to surviving the witching hour") and the bundle offer is concrete ("Save $74 when you buy a Wrap + Soft Buckle Carrier"). The homepage carries three H1s, and the bundle PDP shows 18 reviews, under our 25-review bar.
