(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 05, 2000 ) Toy buying time is here. You want the toys to be fun, of course, but most important, are they safe? To a child, there is nothing more fun than a new toy. To an adult, there's should be nothing more important than a safe toy.

How do you know? One way is to look for proof of testing by an independent laboratory, and to pay attention to warning labels. A good rule of thumb is that if a toy can fit through the opening of a paper towel tube, it's too small for a young child.

The holiday shopping season is an exciting time for kids of all ages. But avoiding an accident is more important than all the fun in the world. Remember what the experts say, buy age appropriate toys, and be sure to be around when young children are opening and playing with new toys.
