Safe Baby Toys for the Holidays, Beyond the Super Stores and China

November 23, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
With all the recent chinese toy recalls, many gift givers are wondering which baby toys are safe to give this holiday season. One online baby boutique, Recurrent Dreams Baby, has many options to consider. Although plastic toys contain chemicals that have been linked to developmental health problems, not all of them are off limits. "I would check on www.cpsc.gov before buying. This website lists all the toy recalls" says D. Toress, owner of www.RecurrentDreams.com, R.N. and mother of two. "But for my children, I am buying wooden toys over plastics. They are much more durable, imaginative, and have none of the chemicals that are typically found in plastic toys. I come across a lot of toy vendors in my business, but my favorites are the wooden toys made by Melissa and Doug, an award winning US company" says Toress.

Another safe option is to buy children soft plush toys. Torress recommends Blabla's sock dolls and monkeys, handmade of natural cotton fibers by Peruvian woman cooperatives. No buttons or beads found here, or any other small parts that could easily be swallowed by a small child. "They are so soft and fun for baby, our customers love them!" says Torress. "We also carry eco-friendly YoYo Dolls and much more on our California based website."
