Mama on Parade is committed to honest, helpful content for busy caregivers and parents. Transparency about how this site is funded is important to us, so we want to clearly explain our participation in affiliate programs and what that means for you.
What this site’s affiliate relationships mean
Some of the links on mamaonparade.com are affiliate links. When you click those links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help cover the time and costs involved in researching, testing, and publishing the articles, guides, and product roundups we create.
Programs we participate in
- Amazon Associates — We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- Other affiliate programs — In addition to Amazon, we may participate in other merchant affiliate programs and networks. Exact partners vary by article and over time; when a link is part of an affiliate relationship, we aim to disclose that context clearly near the link or within the article.
How commissions are earned
Commissions are typically earned when you click an affiliate link from our site and then complete a qualifying purchase within the affiliate program’s tracking window. The amount we earn varies by retailer and product and does not change the price you pay.
Examples of how this works
- You click a product link in one of our gift guides and buy that item or other eligible items from the retailer. We may receive a percentage of the sale.
- A link to a service signs you up for a free trial or paid plan and the program credits us for a successful referral according to their terms.
Editorial integrity and independence
We maintain editorial independence. Our recommendations are based on research, testing, experience, and relevance to our audience, not on potential commission. If a product or service does not meet our standards, we will not recommend it just to earn money.
Mama on Parade contributors include parents and caregivers who test products, consult experts, and review current research. We update content when necessary to reflect new information and product changes. Our primary goal is to help families make informed choices.
What this does — and doesn’t — mean for you
- It means we may earn a small commission when you use certain links.
- It does not mean our recommendations are biased toward higher commissions; trustworthiness and usefulness guide our choices.
- It does not change product prices for you.
Questions about this disclosure
If you’re unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, look for disclosures near the link or within the relevant article. We value your trust and welcome feedback through the site’s available channels.
