The Little Landing desk

Editorial policy.

How Little Landing researches, writes, illustrates and corrects its family-living guides.

We want Little Landing to be useful first. This editorial policy explains the principles that guide the articles and the way we plan to handle corrections, external references and future partnerships.

Originality over volume

Each guide should answer a real practical question with clear steps, limitations and examples. We do not publish invented personal stories, unverified product rankings, fabricated testing results or testimonials simply to fill a page.

Reliable sources for safety topics

When a subject involves infant sleep, toys, furniture anchoring, prams or high chairs, we reference relevant Australian public authorities or specialist organisations. Common sources include Red Nose Australia and ACCC Product Safety. We encourage readers to check those sources directly because guidance, warnings and standards can change.

Illustration is not evidence

Our original drawings represent themes and rooms, not a real child, a product endorsement or a demonstration of compliant use. Safety information in words and authoritative source documents takes priority over decorative imagery.

Buying guides without invented tests

We may describe criteria that help people compare products: standards, dimensions, materials, warranties and fit with daily routines. We only describe hands-on experience when it actually happened and can be substantiated. We do not call a buying framework a lab test.

Health and individual circumstances

Our articles are general editorial information, not professional medical, developmental or legal advice. We cannot judge a child's needs, diagnose symptoms, assess a product's compliance from a photograph or recommend a specific sleeping arrangement for an individual infant. Ask appropriate professionals when personalised guidance is needed.

Commercial independence

If advertising, sponsorships or affiliate links are introduced, relevant relationships will be disclosed clearly. Commercial benefit is not a reason to obscure a safety concern or make an unsupported claim. See our affiliate disclosure.

Corrections and changes

Each story shows its original publication date. Material changes should be reflected appropriately, especially when safety guidance changes. To flag a concern, email hello@littlelanding.com.au with the URL, specific passage and supporting information. We will assess substantive reports carefully but do not promise a fixed response deadline.
