Hazardous Christmas toys
Avoid any toy with sharp edges. A toy with a sharp edge can be a potential safety hazard if the tot has the toy and is walking or running. Again, they like to put things in their mouth, so a sharp toy could potentially damage their mouth or even their eyes. Electric toys with heating elements are to be bought for children over eight years of age. Don't be tempted to buy these because they're a bargain and would be fun to play with. When children are playing unsupervised any toy with electrical heating elements are unsafe and can be dangerous. If the toy has batteries, ensure the battery compartment is screwed down tight with a tiny screw and is near impossible for a child to get in to. Check that the screw has not worked loose from time to time also. Read labels before buying. Labels give age and safety recommendations to guide you in which age group the toy is suitable for. Also, look at the instructions. If you can't understand them, then probably your child won't be able to understand them either. Avoid another safety hazard for your tot by immediately throwing away all plastic wrappings from the toys. These are a suffocation hazard. To your child and potentially to wildlife if you don't dispose of them properly-so do be careful. Watch for those twisty ties that keep toys secure in their packages. They may keep them looking nice in the store but are a hazard as they are taken off the toy. They often have a small plastic backing between the cardboard and the tie. Even if your toddler's toys don't have these, an older sibling might receive a toy with them. They need to be properly discarded to avoid any danger to a younger child. If you are a parent or grandparent considering which toys to buy for your little ones, please be aware of the above listed safety considerations. Keep the holidays happy and safe for your child. Do your research and buy the toys that are suitable to the age of your child. Technorati Tags: Hazardous Christmas toysPosted by Admin at 2006-09-06 16:16, Home
