Nowadays, items of uncertain origin and source of toys can be difficult to control for quality and safety for your beloved child. They may even pose serious health risks to your child. Therefore, let's choose safe toys for your child with Mytour.
1. Avoid choosing faded toys like balloons, for example. You can try wetting your hand and rubbing it on the surface of the balloon or toy. If it fades, it's not advisable to buy because it may have a high risk of contamination.
2. Avoid toys with strong odors such as a pungent smell, rubber smell, strong chemical smell, or any other smell because these types of toys may be made from unguaranteed materials.
3. Choose toys suitable for your child's age. For infants, you can choose items like mobiles, play mats, picture books, or plush toys for them to gaze at. But for children aged 1 and above, it's better to choose smart toys such as stacking blocks, puzzles, or models. Older children can choose toys with many small details to encourage creativity, exploration, and learning. For children under 1 year old, avoid toys with small parts as they may pose choking hazards.
