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.
