A safe toy is more than a pretty toy. Here are a few simple checks before you buy.
1. Read the age label
Age ranges exist to protect children. A toy marked "3+" usually has small parts that are not suitable for children who still put things in their mouths.
2. Check the size of parts
For children under 3, avoid parts that fit through a toilet paper tube. It is a quick test you can do at home.
3. Know the material
Ask what the toy is made of, whether it has a strange smell, and whether the paint flakes.
4. Feel the edges
Rounded edges with no sharp bits make play more comfortable.
5. Easy to clean
Toys that get handled a lot should be washable. Clean them regularly.
Tip for parents: always play alongside your child with sets that have many small pieces, and tidy them away afterwards.
