The MotherBoard
We know how important it is to have moms and kids testing toys. It's more important than what the toy companies or what the ebeanstalk experts have to say. That is why we have over 700 Moms (all with children from 0-5 years of age) comprise ebeanstalk's MotherBoard.
The MotherBoard acts as our nationwide 'governing body' — playing with the toys, rating each and every toy on the site, and providing us valuable feedback.
