Questions about toys for ages 0–2.

What does the US small-parts rule mean for toys for children under 3?

Under 16 CFR 1501, toys intended for children under 3 can’t contain small parts, including pieces that break off during the required use-and-abuse tests. A 3+ label on a toy often signals small pieces, so keep those toys for later.

Why do some toys here say Ages 2+ or 18m+ instead of from birth?

This page covers the whole span from newborn to age 2, and those children need very different toys. Use the Age filter to match the maker’s label to your child today.

Can a plush toy go in the crib?

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises keeping soft objects, including stuffed toys, out of a baby’s sleep space for the first year. Plush on this page is for awake, supervised play.
