Parents can look for age recommendations on toy packaging, which are based on safety guidelines and developmental appropriateness. Additionally, they should check for a [choking hazard warning](#) label, which is required on toys with small parts that are not suitable for children under 3. Parents can also perform a simple test using a small parts tester or a toilet paper roll: if a toy or part can fit through the tester or roll, it is too small and poses a risk.
