Toy Safety Checklist

Are your child's playthings really safe for play? Hidden hazards to look out for.

More toy safety reminders:

  • Always read the label and follow age guidelines. A toy that is safe and appropriate for a grade-schooler might pose a danger to a younger sibling.

  • If you have installed a crib gym or mobile, remember to remove these toys before your child can pull himself up (usually before five months).

  • Avoid toys that make loud, high noises that can damage your child's hearing.

  • Ensure your child never rides wheeled toys (bicycles, skateboards, inline skates, etc.) in or near motor vehicle traffic or near a pool of water. And insist they wear a properly-fitted bike helmet.

  • If you buy electric toys, they should run on batteries, not cords, and should only be used when an adult is around.

  • When your child gets a new toy, immediately discard any of the original packaging, as the staples and plastic wrapping could hurt your child.

  • Be careful not to leave inflated or broken balloons lying around the house. It's easy for a child to choke on these balloons. Balloons, in general, require supervision and should be avoided.

  • Check your child's toys every now and then for wear and tear that could be dangerous.
