Buying the perfect toy can be a daunting task, especially if the little one on your list isn’t your own. When in doubt, here are 10 safety tips to help make sure you don’t wrap an accident-waiting-to-happen this season.

No small parts for anyone under the age of 3.
Make sure plush toys have secure parts (e.g., eyes, noses, buttons).
Avoid sharp edges.
Think twice about projectiles.
Look for washable and non-flammable.
Noises should not hurt a child’s ears and not drive a parent insane.
Don’t forget the helmet to go with the bike, skates or scooter.
Choose arm and knee pads when wheels are concerned.
Age appropriate first, interest second.
