Teach you how to choose high quality and safe plastic toys.

Guide: How can children be accompanied by toys in their childhood? However, in the face of a wide variety of plastic toys, mothers need to be more careful when choosing. Choosing high-quality plastic toys is very important for their baby's health. How to choose high-quality plastic toys? I will help you.

Plastic toys are brightly colored, diverse in shape and relatively resistant to falling. Almost every baby has more or less plastic toys in his hand. Choosing high-quality and safe plastic toys is closely related to the baby's health. Parenting I've compiled a few points for attention in choosing plastic toys here for my parents' reference.

First of all, it depends on the luster and bright colors of toys.

High-quality plastic toys are much better than inferior toys in gloss and bright colors. This is because high-quality plastic toys are usually made of PVC, PP, PE and other plastic raw materials, and the plastic itself is very shiny. However, many inferior toys are usually made of "second-class materials" (that is, materials recovered and reprocessed from waste plastic products), and the color will become worse after reprocessing. Although products with good colors are not necessarily safe, products with poor gloss and bright colors are all products with potential safety hazards.

Second, it depends on the thickness of toy products.

The biggest feature of plastic toys is that their finished products or parts are one-time injection molding. If the inner wall of the injection toy is too thin, it is easy to break and fall when children play, and the plastic parts are fragile, producing small fragments and sharp edges and corners, which is dangerous for babies. Usually, the plastic walls at corners or radians are thicker than other places, which increases the damage tolerance of toys when they fall to the ground and reduces the damage degree.

Thirdly, it depends on the 3C certification and label description of toys.

3C certification is the abbreviation of compulsory product certification in China. The state stipulates that plastic toys must pass the national compulsory product certification, that is, they must have the "CCC" logo. If there is no 3C certification on the product packaging, it means that the product belongs to counterfeit and shoddy products. However, the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but the most basic safety certification, which can only prove that the product is qualified, but not that the product has excellent performance. In addition, labels such as manufacturer, place of origin, main material composition, warning slogan and product certificate should also be checked.

Fourth, smell the plastic toys.

The German Consumer Protection Center pointed out that if some children's toys have a pungent smell, they should contain harmful substances, such as phthalate plasticizers. Therefore, it is recommended that you smell the smell when buying toys. Some experts suggest that toys can be cleaned and dried first to volatilize the smell of plastic as much as possible and reduce the content of peeling pigments and heavy metals. If plastic toys are marked with tolerable high temperature, they can also be boiled before use.

Fifth, try plastic toys.

For the sake of safety, parents suggest carefully trying toys when buying them to see if there are potential safety hazards and whether they are suitable for babies. When trying out, you can shake the toy to see if all the parts are firm and there are any tiny parts. Or pull those toys with a rope to see if the length is appropriate; When choosing a sounding toy, try to see if it is too loud. It's best to touch the edges and corners of the toy to see if there are sharp objects to avoid scratching the baby.
