My grandson's mom thought these looked like a choking hazard and has put it away. Has anyone had experience with parts coming loose easily, or little ones being able to get parts off?

Some of the tops come off but they are good size I am not sure about the hazard

No problems. We were very impressed with the quality and the value. She may be overly cautious in my opinion.

My 3-year-old grandson loves these. I know that the cars have not come apart for him, but he's old enough to not pull on the parts or try to take them apart.

There aren't small parts to it. My son is only 2 and he has no problems with them.

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 .

I am careful when my grandson plays with anything. I don't trust any packaging labels when it comes to the safety of my children. There are small pieces that if broken off, could cause chocking hazards. Hope this helps.

I just read your concern about Sophie being a choking hazard. I haven't taken the time to review all of the feedback on Sophie, but you have to take several things into account. You state that one reviewer found their child choking on Sophie's leg when they "walked into the room". Where were they and why was their infant left alone? The key to being a good parent is to supervise your child. Watch how they interact with their toys. There are many toys on the market for children under 3 that could become choking hazards under the right conditions. If you are leaving your child alone AT ALL they could quickly choke on something as benign as a blanket. My child has owned Sophie for 3 years now and I wouldn't even hesitate to buy her again. He began playing with her at 3 months of age. You have to take all of the ratings with a grain of salt......not everyone is the same type of parent. You can't shift the blame to the toy if you are not supervising your child to begin with.

I had the same problem being the Nana but my son was able to pull off the wheels with a "good strong tug!" Obviously, the originator did not consider the need to make the wheel assembly more "child and parent friendly," unfortunately.

They are at my granddaughter's house in another state so I can't look at it but I think they sit on them but they don't really fall off, however are easy to pull/take apart. They are very well made also. They fit perfectly in little hands and are safe.

Hello. I don't see a choking hazard at all. This is a well made truck with no removable or small parts. It's kind of all molded together. Wheels are secure and the bed is the only moving part other than the wheels. Probably just a blanket disclaimer. Hope this helps.

I'm ordering Baby Stella for my granddaughter's first birthday in December. For those of you who have one, do you think perhaps the choking hazard would be the pink bows on the pigtails?

My youngest is 4 now. If yours are like mine, they will play if once or twice & then go off it to other toys & maybe come back in couple of months & relook at it & then off again. The good thing about this is its big sized cardboard pieces so chance of pieces getting lost is quite low (as in how do you loose a piece thats 7 inches long). So its not bad & keeps them engaged for a short while. Hope this answers your question. If not, please do feel free to ask :)

These figures were given to my grandsons ages 9 and 8 with their parents permission. If a child were younger, I think some of the removable parts might be a choking hazzard and I would hold off till older - even if they whine and cry. I know small children put things in their mouth with great regularity.

I can't provide an official answer from the manufacturer, but I use them with kids ages 2 and up. I use these in my private practice with kids of all ages and they like them. The kids are 100% supervised, so choking or biting off pieces is not an issue.

The pieces are way too small for 19 months. My 3 year old grand son plays with it, but under direct supervision. It is a potential choking hazard.

I have no fears about this product since there are no parts that could come off as choking hazards. My daughter loves these--I bought them for her 1st birthday. She pretends to eat and drink from them and loves putting them in an out of the grocery bag. She of course chews on them but they are well made and are not falling apart. If you are worried about the velcro coming off then maybe you could remove it yourself, but I think this is a well made safe product

I gave it to my grandson when he had just turned two. The animals that come with it seem big enough so as not to be a choking hazard.

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....

Hello, and thank you for your question! The choking hazard warning on the detail page is displayed incorrectly. We will work to get that removed, thanks for the heads-up!

They are soft so younger children shouldn't have any problems playing with them. They do have strings and small batteries. Batteries have a cover that requires a tool so as long as parents supervise should not be and choking hazard with small parts. Cords are adjustable as well to better fit height.

I bet that's a typo and it's for children ages 4+. I have my minion right next to me andI tugged on his hair, glasses, hands and feet, and none of the parts came off...I don't see a choking hazard here. He is the BEST!
