Toy Safety

I know a lot of parents are worried about buying toys from China and are looking for alternatives. I've been searching high and low to find quality toys that aren't made in China. I've learned that just because a toy company makes most of its products in China that doesn't mean they all are. Many companies have multiple plants, some even here in the U.S.!

For example, Manhattan Toy's Skwish is made in Thailand. And their Whoozit, while made in China, was tested on a local news program and found to be safe.

The Awesome Blossom has a Kids II Twist & Turn by Bright Starts and it's stamped "made in Isreal".

Little Tikes stands out among toy companies because you can search for products made in America right on their website. I've also noticed some of our Little Tikes toys are made in Isreal too.

And, of course, there are the big German toy companies like Sigikid and Haba. They make beautiful, quality toys but can be a little pricier. Still, it's worth keeping your eyes open for bargains on these brands because they're well worth it. In fact, Toys R Us has a limited selection of Haba toys on clearance right now!
