Tips To Help Choose The Right Toy For A Baby

Choosing Baby Toys
What has advanced more is the way the knowledge of how babies learn has been shared to a greater extent between manufacturers and parents. There are a number of toy brands available today that have turned to psychologists to help develop better toys for children. And of course testing with children is important to most toy companies today. So how do you as a parent or perhaps a friend or a member of the family choose the perfect toy?
You've already started well by reading these tips.
Do your homework
Have you any experience of children and babies at all? If not then seek guidance from parents that you know. Ask your neighbours what success they've had with particular toys for different age groups. Search the internet to see what the best selling toys are for boys and girls.
Has the toy passed a safety standard?
It's really important to make sure that whatever baby toy you choose it has passed the appropriate safety standard. In Europe it should have the mark CE on it. If it doesn't have the mark on it, forget it. You don't want to risk the safety of a baby.
Do your own safety checks
Carry out more checks of your own. Think about the age of the baby and whether it is likely that baby will be biting hard because they are teething.Look out for toys that might break into pieces in a child's mouth. Avoid anything that has lengths of cord or string more than a couple of inches long.
Think ages and stages of development of your toddler
It can be tempting to buy your one year old a toy for an 18 month old. It's generally better to match a baby's age with the developmental age of the toy as baby will learn more. Younger children will be fast developing their motor skills and children over one will be into problem solving and more physical toys.
Consider the toy's lifespan
When looking at a potential toy for your baby, think about its uses. Can the baby toy be used in different ways to keep baby interested over a longer lifespan or is it one that can be handed on to someone else within a few months of purchase?Some toys evolve through three stages to keep baby interested when lying flat, sitting up and standing up.
Read information about the toy first
When buying a baby toy read about the toy and understand what it's for. Babies go through many developmental stages and you want to make sure that the skills baby will learn from the toy are appropriate to his age.
