Baby Toys & Toddler Toys- Safety Tips

You may want to observe these toys safety guidelines when choosing toys - toddler toys and baby toys:

• Do the toys suit your child's developmental level? Most toys have a "recommended age" sticker. Be realistic about your child's abilities and level of maturity when choosing an age-appropriate toy. Toddler toys and baby toys that have projectiles, for example, are never suitable for a child under age 4, and even some 6 year olds aren't mature enough to handle them. Likewise, if your 3 year old still puts everything into his mouth, continue to steer clear of toys with small parts and pieces.

• Think big toys. Until your child turns 3, parts for toddler toys & baby toys should be bigger than his mouth to avoid the possibility of choking. To determine whether toys pose a choking risk, try fitting the toys through a toilet paper roll. If the toys can fit inside the cylinder, the toys are not safe.

• Are your baby toys too heavy? Could your baby be harmed if the toys fell on him or her? If so, pass.

• Buy only quality baby toys. Make sure baby toys and toddler toys are well put together: tails are securely sewn, seams of stuffed animals are reinforced, and paint is not peeling off the toys. Stuffed animals should also be free of buttons, yarn, ribbons, and anything else your child could yank off and put in his or her mouth.

• Is your child ready for this toy? For example, parents of older kids may buy a bike one size too big so as not to have to buy a new bike the next year. This tactic can lead to serious injury if a child doesn't have the physical skills to control the bigger bike.

• Are the toys in good condition? Used toys passed down from older kids can be worn or frayed, which may pose a danger. Examine all new or used toddler toys & baby toys for buttons, batteries, ribbons, eyes, beads, and plastic appendages that could easily be chewed or snapped off.

• Do the toys have a string or cord longer than 12 inches? A cord can too easily be wrapped around a young child's neck, causing strangulation. Once your child can climb up on his hands and knees, remove crib gyms and hanging mobiles from his crib. Be particularly vigilant about old toddler toys and baby toys. For example, an older model of a popular play kitchen may have a phone attached with a potentially deadly cord, while the latest model of the same kitchen has the more current and safer cordless phone.

• Do the toys use small magnets? Magnets can be hidden home hazards. Small, powerful magnets are often used in toys, and may fall out of the toy and be swallowed by a child. Two or more swallowed magnets (or a magnet and a metal object) can be attracted to each other through intestinal walls, causing twisting and pinching of the intestines, holes, blockages, infection, and worse if not discovered and treated promptly.  Keep toddler toys and baby toys with magnets away from kids under 6 years old!
