would a baby be able to play with this with out pieces coming off?

This is a soft playset. The animals are soft and cuddly. What pieces are you concerned about?? How old is the baby?? I've given this as baby gift more than once.

Each of the animals come off the ark. So it would be more of a decoration than a toy

Very baby proof. Darling stuffed animals just the right size for little ones.

These are little stuffed animals that fit inside a stuffed ark ... we never had problems with the baby. It's a great toy.

No, sorry. The animal pieces come off. But it's a really nice set and the pieces are not small enough to swallow. My son loves playing with it!

I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months old. These are just the right size for a baby but the eyes are small and hard and could cause a choking hazard. This is one of those toys that you would have to supervise while your child plays with it to be sure she/he doesn't start chewing on the eyes. I let my baby play with it but I keep it out of her reach and only let her play with it while I watch her. The only plush animals I let her play with unsupervised have embroidered eyes and noses. I personally haven't been able to find many baby toys with embroidered eyes other than Aspen baby toys. I bought a plush monkey from Aspen baby that came with a plush banana that my daughter loved when she was younger. Both the monkey and banana have a small bell inside that rattles when you shake them. The monkey I received had a loose stitch and the bell came out when my daughter played with it so please be careful of that. I contacted the company and they offered to send another one, but I just sewed it back together myself and we haven't had anymore problems.

We bought this for christmas and have not played with them yet, but at a glance, I think they would be ok. Just stuffed animals and a stiff felt-like ark.

Yes, but are not designed to be removed. The toys lock into place when you attach them upon assembly. So I imagine you could take them off but it would be difficult. The tray is large enough to have room between the fixed toys for baby to play with others. You can secure other toys with links and straps to the two tall toys.

I have no idea why would it state that , maybe it is some kind of requirement(for example, baby head band can be used by babies under adult supervison, but if left unattended can pose a choking hazard! ) I got these for my seven month old at the time and now1 year later It is still one of the best toys she has! She is no longer chewing them, but now can stack these blocks or is looking at all the sides picturing different animals and textures as she can recognize most of them. Next step would be to learn to squeeze blocks to make them squeak. I don't see how it is hazard. Blocks are 2x2 in made of sturdy but flexible material. The only thing perhaps, if older child could bite some piece off, which would be quite challenge but not impossible.

It's a little fragile/tippy, and kind of small for a child who may not be too coordinated. The sticks are the size of pencils. It might get broken pretty quickly. You'd probably be better off with a toy drum or rhythm band set or bongos.

Some of the knobs might come off. However, I would not recommend this for a child under 2.

the smaller pieces are about 5 cm , if the can get to the mouth , are the caps and barrels off that they can remove and replace my child is 3 years old and doing well , not the plays , but for a smaller baby is perhaps not very suitable .

No, it cannot. It pops apart. We were going to put it down in our daughter's room and the edge pieces keep coming apart. If I had a choice, I would not have purchased it. It will probably go in the trash for us.

Ours fell apart right when we got it. It's been played with once and broke! So I would say no.

No. The toys are hung by a string and knot that is glued in place and mostly unreachable. You would have to cut them off.

I guess that's normally a warning on most items for babies. But as i have this product there r no small dangling pieces. Once the tent is assembled, it's good to go

Yes, I did it that way and is strong sometimes my baby plays with it, and hasn't fall off

Definitely not sturdy enough -- it wasn't sturdy enough for our 3 month old. You'd be better off using a pack n play.

No. My baby is 11 months and barely ever played in it. A waste of money and very flimsy.

I think that the standard for the warning is if the toy has small pieces or if small pieces could be generated upon breakage. In this case, there are no chokeable parts, but if the ring were to break, I could see how there would be chokeable parts generated. It would take more than usual baby play to break this ring, though. As an adult, I'd have to make a concerted effort to break it, and my first step would be to open the ring, which even my toddler can't do. I don't think it's reasonably a choking hazard when played with by babies/toddlers. That said, my children haven't found it to be a fun toy or a particularly good teether. If you haven't bought it yet, skip it.

It would be a good addition to other pieces as children of this age love to pile other things on top of other things. Alone it would not be enough. We have had out our set for a while now and they have withstood play from all ages of children.

Not really. I don't think it's very easy to take apart, and the plastic pieces take up a fair bit of room. They make another Fisher Price mat that is just a tummy time mat (my mom has it) that is like an ocean theme, and that's great for travel - it just rolls up like a quilt.

The smallest pieces in our sets are equilateral triangles with the sides 2 and 3/4 inches long. So the pieces themselves would not be a choking hazard. However, one caveat. Our grandson built a structure on a table in a sunroom where the floor was ceramic tile. His building was knocked off the table onto the tile floor, and one of the pieces "popped" open. The building tile itself was not broken but the two sides came apart and the six little magnets inside were scattered. Those narrow little magnets, 3/4 inch long, would definitely be a bad choking hazard for a baby or small child. The building tile was not broken. We were able to re-insert the magnets and press the two sides of the tile back together, but I threw that tile away in case it had been weakened. I alerted all our eight grandchildren's parents. It has never happened again. Kids' buildings have been knocked down constantly but always on wooden floors and there has been no further problem. Overall, it has been a fabulous toy. Our local grandson, now 8, still dashes to play with it every time he comes to our house. With a small child, however, I would want an adult to be watching them, just in case....
