Toddler Tool Bench

We have a very energetic child (19 months) who really had it with toys for babies. We tend to follow the guidelines of age for most, but for example my husband bought her a toddler tool bench is technically for ages 3 +, but there is no son's favorite toy! We removed all the small parts. Now my husband about buying our son of one of these battery-powered vehicles for his second birthday and they also say "3 years and over"
Be honest, do you really follow the directives of age on toys? Or do you bend the rules a little?

Is your son in his advanced hand-eye coordination and intelligence? If it is (as seems to be because he loves his tool bench "), then get him toys for age, he acts, not his chronological age. Be sure to remove all the pieces, he could choke, however, because it is still a baby (anyone below 3 is considered a baby) and can put the coins in his mouth when you're not looking.

not really

I bend the rules. I think as long as you do not expose them to the game, they can play with anything. My son is 15 months and is constantly playing with toy cars.

Never, I just buy what my child likes

It depends on what the toy is - there is a lot of small parts, remove them and the child should be fine - however - I strongly suggest against buying toys from China, has said, with thing lead paint and all together. ..

Personally, I bend the rules a bit ... I think many manufacturers are a little more cautious than his neck on the line if a toy is played with and injured a child.
I think you can use common sense when it comes to toys that allow your child to play with, as long as you care to check yourself out toys and small parts, sharp parts, etc. etc. I think giving your child a toy that may be for a period of 2 years of age is fine as long as you check thoroughly, but not like anything for a 6 / 7 years old, but common sense really tthat'scommon

With this because I asked the same thing! My daughter is 9.5 months and his first birthday soon-ish, I'm starting to think toys!

They are only guidelines, not rules for living. All children have different developmental age and that your little boy loves the big boy toys. A word
good advice, do not get him the vehicle's battery powered. I
seen so many young people injured when he returns. I think that even 3 and up
is too young. A head 19 months old is still soft and can be damaged.
There are plenty of 3 and up toys, he can safely and have both you and your husband very responsible.

I do not follow the rules much. I inspect everything and if it looks strong and sturdy enough for my daughter can play with it. My daughter has many toys for tat older children and she loves them.

I do not even watch an age limit at all

My son had a tour aboard the train at 9 months and got a tour around the battery powered Mini Cooper for Christmas last year. The train was 18 months or more and the car 4 years and older. He did both for (supervised of course) and still does. Last year, he got a race car and go flip is labeled 4 years and over and he understood and enjoyed with him the pleasure. This is one of his favorite toys to play with.

His birthday is in March this year so it will be as close to 3 for Christmas we are going to buy 3 and up toys. On his birthday, he will even though it will be 3. It really depends on the toy. When he was younger if she had a lot of small parts, we have taken small parts out of it. Some toys but does not work without all the pieces of this kind if we adopted the time and wait. Last year, if we had stuck to his age on toys, it would have been made with toys for babies he has long passed and exceeded the interest in and wouldn.
