Updated . How we count
Share of parents who stated an outcome for congestion. Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval, so a product needs both a good share and enough reports to rank high.
Weak suction is the common complaint: 50% of Braun reviews, 32% of Safety 1st reviews and 14% of Haakaa reviews say so.
Praise and complaints are the points parents repeat most, shown as a share of each product's counted store reviews.

The 4 products ranked here carry 2,775 reviews at Target. We read the newest reviews of each product (up to a thousand per listing), kept the ones that talk about congestion, and counted up to 40 per product, posted between Nov 2018 and Aug 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (1 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Target also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. We show them on product cards but never count them, because brand-site reviews run more positive than store reviews of the same products.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
We count what parents report. Nothing here is medical or safety advice: for a sick baby, call your pediatrician, and for car seats, a certified child passenger safety technician can check the install.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most parents here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

Reviews can tell you which aspirator worked for other parents, not whether your baby's cold needs a doctor. Call your pediatrician when symptoms are severe, last more than a few days or come with a fever.
62% of Haakaa reviews call it easy to clean, and 15% of Braun reviews do too. 9% of Safety 1st reviews say it is hard to clean.
