Baby product sourcing for the Philippines
LIFA checked suppliers and test documentation for a Philippine baby-gear range; its first container arrived without recorded transit damage.
- The buyer
- A Manila, Philippines e-commerce seller expanding from toys into baby gear (target 15 SKUs).
- The product scope
- Strollers, car seats, and baby carriers; safety certified.
What needed to change?
Safety compliance (EN 1888, ECE R44) gaps; 2 suppliers offered certificates later found invalid; transit damage on strollers averaged 4%, eroding margins.

We arranged impact and harness tests on car seats and carriers.
We specified reinforced export packaging and ran transit trials.
We prepared compliance documentation for platform listing approval.
