My grandson (16 month) unscrews everything in the house...but he still puts everything in his mouth. Are these parts things he could choke on?

It's doubtful. I suppose he could gag if he put the screw or nail end in his mouth, but the head ends make them too large to swallow.

We removed ours when my grandson turned 14 months old. Probably left it in there longer than necessary but just kept it for comfort.

Yes, it should be safe. The pieces are relatively large. The 1-1/2 year old brother would likely be able to chew on the smaller pieces but they should be too large to cause a choke hazard.

they are probably referring to the all the small parts involved in assembling this bike. Once it is assembled i dont see any way a baby can choke on it. My son is 3 1/2 and has had his since he was about 1 1/2 with no problems. The only problem i do have with it and has since caused us to 'park' this thing was that the peddles stopped working, the pieces that come together to make the peddles actually spin the wheels do not stay together,,, it worked for a while then they just would not stay together,,, my son used it for a long time by just using his feet like the flintstones do.

No, but the kids are able to gnaw and suck the food out without chocking. It is small enough for them to fit in their mouths so there really is no need for it. I have tried so many different versions of these and this one by far was the best. :)

Nope. My oldest takes EVERYTHING apart! Not these though, even all the cousins playing with them, they are pretty tough. Although stepping on one at 2:00 in the morning is akin to stepping on Lego's.

I would not have a three-year old play with this because of the choking hazards. It comes with a lot of miniature accessories, like a hand dryer, for example, that a three-year old could easily put in their mouth.

If I remember correctly, the pieces to this are all big enough that you don't have to worry about a choking hazard. My Grandson was three when I bought the set and since that time, a 2 year old child was adopted and plays with the set too. Haven't had any problems.

Not at all! It's about the size of a yogurt container, and quite safe. My 15 month old still chews on his.

there are some small parts, for most children there should be low risk of choke hazards. younger children may require some help building it or putting it back together during play.

I have had to place one at a time on the back of his tongue and hold his head up so he can't spit it out. Sometimes he will eat them with his food or once the bites into them. He is very picking and dissects everything he eats, even layered bones and treats.

My grandson does not use the teether yet as it is a little too big for his mouth but it will be much better than chewing on the usual dummy which I am afraid my grandson will chew through and perhaps swallow some of the pieces.

I got this for my little girl when she was 2 for Christmas, as long as he is past the stage of putting things in his mouth its perfect for kids that age. But as mentioned there are bolts and screws that come with the workshop so if he still sticks things in his mouth ya might wanna avoid getting it.

They are buttons but are very securely attached. They are flat to the fabric and glued down around the edges. I don't see how they could be removed to choke on except for hours and hours of extensive chewing and sucking. They are really on there well!

I just took a look at this to double check, I don't see anything that is small enough for a child or adult to choke on - unless they mean the bristles, which I pulled on and their very secure - This set looks exactly like the picture, no small parts. hope this helps

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

Depending upon the age of your son I wouldn't as a safety (smothering/choking...) concern. I would recommend asking your pediatrician.
