Plush toys offer wonderful benefits for babies—providing comfort, companionship, and sensory stimulation. They can help soothe, develop their sense of touch, and offer a sense of security.
There are some safety concerns with plush toys for infants to be aware of. Infants can be at risk of choking, suffocation, and other potential hazards associated with these toys. We prioritize safety when selecting the quality of plush we carry, and adhere to the manufactures guidance regarding age appropriateness.
Key safety considerations for plush toys and infants:
Size: Opt for plush toys that are large enough to prevent choking hazards.
Secure stitching: Ensure the toy's seams are well-stitched and don't easily come apart.
No small parts: Avoid plush toys with detachable small parts like buttons or eyes.
No dense, fluffy fur: Due to the choking risk due to fiber shedding of deep-pile fur, due to the risk of fiber shedding.
Hypoallergenic materials: Choose hypoallergenic, non-toxic materials to minimize potential allergies.
Age-appropriateness: Select plush toys designed for the specific age of your child, following manufacturer recommendations for safety and developmental appropriateness.
No sleeping with stuffed animals until 12 months of age
