Toy Safety for Infants and Toddlers Prepared by the Health Consultant Team at Child Care Aware® of North Dakota General Guidelines • Follow manufacturer’s age recommendations. • To prevent choking, it is recommended that toys/objects are larger than 1¼” in diameter and 2¼” in length. Use a choke tube tester or ruler to measure. Round objects are recommended to be 1¾” or larger in diameter since they are more likely to completely block a child’s airway. Use a toilet paper tube or ruler to measure. To make it easier, you can use a toilet paper tube to measure all toys/objects. If the item fits inside a toilet paper tube, it is not recommended for children under 3 years of age. • The weight of the toy should be light enough for the child to handle. • Toys should be labeled washable and non-toxic. • Assess if a toy may contain lead. Lead can appear in the paint on the surface or in the toy’s vinyl, pigment or plastic. Avoid purchasing non-brand toys from discount stores or private vendors to limit potential exposure. • Check the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website, www.cpsc.gov, for toy recalls and alerts. • Toys should be certified by the Toy Safety Certification Program (TSCP) or American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Toy Construction • Riding toys should be stable and well-balanced to prevent tipping. Children age12 months and older should wear a helmet when using riding toys. • Cloth/stuffed toys should be washable and tightly sewn, have no detachable parts that could be a choking hazard, labeled “flame retardant free”, have paper tags removed, and made without foam.
