## What is Tutela?

Most family scanner apps stop at food and cosmetics. Tutela is the only app that scores your stroller, car seat, crib, and toys the same way — then watches every one of them for recalls, so you hear it from us before you hear it anywhere else. Baby to big kid, up to age 12.

TRUST SCORE FOR EVERYTHING YOUR KID USES
Every product gets a 0–100 score built from recalls, government investigations, ingredients, materials, certifications, and safety reports. No black box — tap any factor to see exactly why.

RECALL & INVESTIGATION ALERTS
Add anything to your Watchlist. If it's ever recalled or investigated, you'll know — not weeks later when you happen to catch it on the news.

EARLY WARNINGS, BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RECALL
Consumer complaints often surface long before CPSC makes anything official. Tutela surfaces those too.

INGREDIENTS & MATERIALS, EXPLAINED
Every ingredient and material broken down — what it is, why it's there, and what it means for your kid. Big 9 allergen flags built in.

WHAT TO CHECK, HOW LONG IT LASTS
Category guides for every kind of product: what to inspect, how to use it safely, when to retire it, and age-appropriate ways to play.

FILTER BY WHAT YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT
B Corp, USDA Organic, FSC-certified, allergen-free — over 15 filters across 70,000+ products.

COMPARE SIDE BY SIDE
Put two or three products head to head on recalls, materials, certifications, and safety reports. Get a plain-language ruling on which one wins and why.

BUILT WHILE ON PATERNITY LEAVE. NO BRAND MONEY, EVER.
We built Tutela after our own twins arrived two months early. We were caught flat-footed, and we want to help other parents avoid the same scramble. No ads, no sponsored placement — no brand can ever pay for a better score.

— Sam and Katie, twin parents to Serena and Eleanor

### 5/5 — Great app for moms!

*2026-06-02*

This app has it all! As a new mom or veteran mom, this app is super helpful when needing more information about a product that helps your children. It gives safety information, ingredients, and even allergy info which is super helpful in today’s day and age! It’s like a one stop shop to research items and learn more about a baby / kid friendly product you already have or wanting to get soon! Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — So helpful!!

*2026-04-21*

Great app!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-19*

When looking for a car seat was helpful to understand certain brands and what may have been recalled. Scan is easy. Just went thru target and scanned.

### 5/5 — An app the does the heavy lifting for you

*2026-04-16*

Buying baby products can be surprisingly stressful especially as a new parent. Every review you read makes you feel like the simplest baby item, from a bottle to a bathtub, is super dangerous. Tutela does the research and data aggregation for me and helps me make informed decisions without having to agonize over product reviews myself!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-04-16*

All the details I need in one scan. Love it.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-04-16*

I’m so happy I came across this app! We started using this app to check in products for our 2 year old son. It has made the buying process so much easier and less stressful. Now we actually know if what we’re buying is worthwhile. Thank you to whoever developed this! You’re the bomb!

### 5/5 — Yuka for baby/infant products

*2026-04-16*

This app is phenomenal. It’s a version of Yuka for all sorts of baby/infant related products. Highly recommend it for anyone that is overwhelmed and doesn’t know what baby/infant products to buy!

### 5/5 — The Best App!!

*2026-04-15*

Whoever thought of developing this app is an absolute genius. I don’t know anything about app development, but to find a program that allows you to gather, in one place, all the third -party information on safety, ingredients, environmental impact, product certifications, and more, for a baby related product is a godsend for new parents, such as ourselves. we are more confident and less stressed as a result of using Tutela. A tip of the hat to the developer!

### 5/5 — Must have for parents!

*2026-04-15*

This is like the essential Yuka but for anything related to babies. Search or scan any product to get a quick overview of the essentials (product recalls, news articles, and more). But it's not overwhelming. The quick rating system gives you a good sense of the product's safety in once glance. So much easier than having to research everything yourself!

### 5/5 — Super helpful for a new twin mom!

*2026-04-15*

I am a new mom of twins and this app helped me decide what products to get for my girls. Scanner works really well and I love the comparison tool too!
