Toys not only delight the child, with their help children develop and learn about the world. Now the stores offer a wide range of children's products and sometimes parents are simply lost among such a variety. However, when buying, it is worth remembering the most important thing: only a high-quality, safe and functional toy made of environmentally friendly material will bring maximum benefit and joy to the child.
Instructions
Step 1
The quality of a product can be determined in several ways. Having chosen the toy you like, ask the seller for a certificate of conformity. It confirms that children's products have passed a special test, comply with GOST standards, are safe and will not cause an allergic reaction in a child. Another prerequisite for the production, import and sale of children's toys on the territory of Russia is the availability of a hygienic certificate - a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion (SEZ).
Step 2
Buy toys only in specialized stores that comply with the rules of sale and have all the necessary documents. It is unlikely that toys bought in an underpass or from a street stall will be safe for a child and meet all sanitary and hygienic standards. One of the guarantees of quality can be the name of a company that has established itself well in the children's goods market, but the better the product, the more expensive it is. You should not be seduced by too low prices, it is better to buy one expensive, but high-quality toy than several items of dubious quality.
Step 3
Carefully inspect the product, the packaging should contain information about the manufacturer, expiration date, age restrictions and operating conditions. The absence of inscriptions in Russian is a violation and it is better not to buy such a product. If plastic or rubber toys have a pronounced chemical odor, this is a signal that you are dealing with a substandard product that can be hazardous to the child's health. Check the toy for the strength of the attachment of parts and seams, for sharp corners and burrs that can injure the baby. Take a plastic toy and rub it a little, the paint should not remain on your hands.
Step 4
Try to buy not only beautiful, but also useful toys that will contribute to the development of the child's age-related needs. If the baby early showed any abilities, for example, creative or design, then a properly selected toy will help them further improve.
