Things to consider when buying toys
Toys are considered to be childhood treasures, but you need to be careful when choosing them. You may want to keep the following in mind in order to keep your kids safe while playing with their toys.
Second-hand toys
When you buy second-hand toys, it is important to examine these used toys for any batteries, buttons, beads, plastic bits and other parts that your child can easily chew or snap off. Also check the toys you have for wear and tear and throw away those that are damaged.
Be cautious when buying second-hand older toys. For example, an old model of a highly popular kitchen playset has a phone attached to it with a potentially deadly cord, while its latest mode has the latest and safer cordless phone. Also when buying online through a third-party reseller, make sure to ask for the real photos of the toys you are eyeing to ensure that you’re getting the real deal. If possible, ask for a few seconds of video showcasing the toy in every angle.
