Buying The Best Baby Toys
Information for Buying the Best Baby Toys
Buying baby toys can be confusing for anybody because there are so many to pick from. Baby toys should keep your baby amused and also provide some educational factors. All babies will learn from the toys that they are playing with, so the more toys that your baby has the more that your baby will learn.
You should keep these senses in mind when you are buying baby toys, the baby toy you are considering should have at least one thing that will stimulate one of the senses.
In this day and age it seems as though everything is going digital, and flashy toys are beginning to get popular. Baby toys with the flashy light feature are not the best because they do not offer any stimulation of the five senses.
Before you buy any baby toys for your baby you should first ask yourself some questions like: Will the toy hold the baby’s attention? Will the toy survive the baby? Can the baby figure out how to use it? Does this toy look as though it will keep the baby’s attention? Is it possible that the baby toy be played with in different ways?
Always be certain that when you are buying baby toys that they are safe, not too big or small, basic colors, and they can be washed easily. Remember that buying baby toys should be an experience that is fun.

Damn, that baby is a beast.
lmao
if its your first then you should start feeling it move at 18-20 weeks, you have no reason to buy anything until you are out of the first trimester seeing as though you are still risk of miscarriage, other then that the only thin you should buy is a crib and mattress until you know the sex of the baby. good luck and congrats.
Very cute idea… I should do that with my son.
For baby furniture, http://www.homelement.com/products/Baby-Furniture/Baby-Furniture_1_1.html
Good luck!
I think answers from your other two questions can also be used for this one… eBay, resale shops and even garage sales. You can wash most cloth toys in the washing machine and plastic toys in the dishwasher to sanitize them if you buy them used. If you must have new, I would try WalMart or Target. Babies R Us is decently priced, but I would wait until they have a sale because they usually have pretty good discounts. You can also check your Sunday newspaper for the circulars or coupons.
Redbull and Babies dont mix (o:

!!!! WAIT !!!!! ANSWER #1 IS 100% INCORRECT !!!
He states
"Stick with wooden or cloth/plush toys for a baby – that's one option. "
The wooden toys from China are the ones that are painted and have the biggest chance of having lead based paint (LBP). Cloth/plush items will (can) collect lead dust from floors. And then pass it to the kids if they are not cleaned / washed often.
There was a web site for recalled toys but I can't find it right now. But even this site may not list all the toys effected with lead. Its a good start but I would test each wooden OR PLASTIC toy I bought. There can be lead in plastic or vinyl.
edit: found the web site… http://www.babycenter.com
The easiest way to test is with a product call "Lead Check". They are small white tubes that deliver a chemical (sodium rodizinate) to the surface. If there is leach-able lead it will turn color (pink or red). Call around to your local paint stores to find them. There are many types of these chemical test kits but my opinion is Lead Check is the best / easiest.
HINT: They cost about $3.00 each BUT !!! (Lead Check hates me to teach this) … There are 5 to 7 drops in each tube. If you use a clean dry cotton swab on each item, you can get 5 to 7 tests.
(no I don't work for or own stock in this co.) …
For more info plese read http://home.mindspring.com/~wrltc/lswp.pdf A book I wrote for parents doing re-modeling or having it done. And lead issues in general. It was paid for by a fed/state grant. Which means its your book as much as mine. I am NOT trying to sell you anything. Education about this subject is my job.
D’aww! X33

I own a toy store and we don't deal with Mattel, so the answer is no.
There are some brands we carry that are made in China, however. We have Thomas trains, some of which were recalled. But the manufacturer reacted quickly to recall them.
It's tough to be a small manufacturer of toys these days. You can either have the toys made in the US or other country with ethical practices and raise the price. Or roll the dice with china and have low prices.
The real problem is that most consumers will do anything to save money on their kids' toys.
It's ironic that they won't spend ten dollars more for a safe toy for their kid, but will spend tens of thousands of dollars extra to buy a monster truck to tote the kids around in.
Ok let me just say my grandmother does the exact same thing and I know how you feel. Except fot the safety things. I'd rather have those bought new. I want my new baby to have new things.
My mother in law does try to give me my husbands old toys though. They also tried to give me his crib, and he is 25 years old.
As for your mother in law just tell her to give you the money instead or tell her exactly what you need from where. Or just go shopping with her and whenever she ask you if you like something at a garage sell tell her no. To everything.
i want this existence.
I would purchase you basic baby needs. That way you will be prepared for when your baby is here. My son came 2.5 months early and we didn't even have a crib yet! Later in pregnancy you will become more uncomfortable and tire, so right now will be a great time to spend long outs on your feet.
I would suggest NOT to get a bunch of cute outfits, only buy when there is a special event. You don't go place alot with a newborn and they out grow them SO fast. I learn this the hard way. I have quite a few $50 never worn outfits!
