Has anyone found silverware for toddlers that is not made in China preferably made in the USA? I have searched high and low for silverware for a toddler that is not made in China. They all say responsibly made in China or something to that effect. With all the news of products and food being contaminated in China or coming from China, I am on a quest to find toddler silverware made in the USA that is also BPA, PVC, Phthalate, lead and melamine free. I do not want to buy products that hold food or go in your mouth from China. I called "The Little Seed" and the Thinkbaby BPA Free Feeding Set, Orange is made in Korea. Don't we make anything here in the USA anymore? Has anyone found silverware for toddlers that is not made in China preferably made in the USA?

Look on the internet (or locally if you live in a large city) for handmade wooden utensils. I had a spoon made locally by an artist out of local recycled hardwood and I couldn't have been happier.

Ya know, it's funny. Just today I looked under my dog's tail and it said "Made in China" Well now I looked under the coffee pot and it said the same thing. My co-worker brought me a souvenir from Italy and on the bottom it said, "Made in China". I said "Thank you Vanessa, I never had anything made in China." Ya, it's hard to find anything that isn't made there.

Yes they are made in China according to the tag. I wouldn't buy anything made in China, especially something meant to go in the mouth - of babies or anyone!!! You can't trust them, no matter what they advertise.

0% BPA; easy to clean; you can hide the straw so it does not get dirty; easy to hold for a toddler; my daughter is very picky and she likes those All parts are dishwasher safe but we wash the straw parts by hand just to be sure...

They are made in china. and the fact that it does not read lead free may be an indication that they are lead based. Thank you for bringing up this topic. i have searched the internet high and low and cannot find anything on the manufacturer and contents the dinner ware.

The child's constructive 3 piece eating set was purchased as a gift. Therefore, I could not check the place of manufacturing, but I believe it was China.

I just contacted the company via Facebook as to where they manufacture (BTW it is China), below is their response: "Hi Tara, thanks for your message! Our products are all designed in San Diego and manufactured in China with suppliers we have been working with for 12+ years. Please let us know if you have any other questions!"This puts me on the fence about purchasing this crib because of the manufacture location. I have the older GoCrib which we have used a lot and all over the planet with our travels, but it still has a hint of plastic smell after owning for over 2 years.

I gave it away but im almost positive it was not made in usa. With that bein said it had no strong plastic or paint odor it was very well made and my som adored it!!! Ive since bought them for other kids and passed his on to his daycare. His daycare is very cautious about toys and they were happy to take this!

I'm not sure what they are made of - I don't have the packaging any more. But, these are great for toddlers!!! They fit their hands perfectly. They are rounded at the right angle so they can get the food picked up much, much better than any others I have ever seen. (I am a mother of 4 & a grandma of 2) :-) They also wash well in the dishwasher!

The company's website states the utensils are made in the USA. Parts of their fabric-based toys/items they sell are made in China.

They seem to have worked very hard to not tell us where it's made. I searched everywhere I could think might tell me. It's really nice, attractive, durable, dishwasher safe, I have both the Black Rice set, and the square Premium Bone China set, and they inter-mix beautifully! I'm very proud to use them!

That's a great question! As a new grandparent myself, I understand your concern. My research showed: Hape is a German company. Their wooden toys are made in a China with wood sourced from Germany. Their factory in China is owned and run by Hape. All toys are third party tested for strict US and European child safety standards (completely non-toxic). So many companies are now operating out of their homeland and China's gotten a bad rap lately, but I think it matters more to consider who and how the company is run in China (or where ever)- I also try to look for those that have not had safety recalls or complaints. So far, so good for Hape --- in my humble opinion!

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. I have inquired with BabyHome and they do believe the Eat Tray is BPA Free and comes from Spain.Best Regards,Vicki

I am pretty sure it is made in china because thats where all of mattels toys are made and fisher price is under mattlel. maybe we should just have our kids wear gloves when they play with toys and take them off and wash their hand after their done or better yet maybe lead proof suits. jk

I really like to not buy toys from china and especially food. Thanks for the answer.

I am guessing they do not contain lead, since toys made overseas are put through a rigorous testing process before being sold here. (My dad was a manager of a wholesale distribution company, which is how I know all about this.) It says on the box that they are made in China. The back of the box states, "Melissa and Doug products meet or exceed all U.S. toy testing standards and pass our high quality requirements." I bought these almost three years ago though, so maybe the packaging states something different now. Good luck!

I have a six month old at home and have been searching for safe toys for her. In my research, I have found some useful sites, it comes down to doing your own homework and being vigilant in what has been tested. When it comes to toys, China is the name of the game. Even my organic toys are from China....try these sites out...http://www.healthystuff.org/documents/CPSIA_factsheet.pdfhttp://healthychild.org/main/http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.htmlhttp://madesafetoys.org/toy-safety-news-from-cpsc/
