First Aid - Safety first
How to select safe toys
If you're shopping for new toys, don't use the price tag as a safety guide, advises Harvard Medical Schools. Pricier does not necessarily mean safer.

Here are some guidelines for selecting toys:

  • Read and strictly follow labels for age and safety recommendations.
  • Match toys to your child's age and abilities.
  • Avoid toys with cords or strings.
  • Avoid toys that shoot small objects.
  • Avoid toys that make loud or shrill noises that can damage hearing.
  • Make sure toys targeted to children younger than age eight do not have metal or glass edges. - (HealthDayNews)
