Description says "WARNING:CHOKING HAZARD-- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs." are these made of plutonium or are there giant babys somewhere?

No, it's the packaging Edsel. My 70# BELL was delivered successfully to my house in a very sturdy and supportive package. Considering the bell's size and obvious mass and the unmanageable dangers it would present if it became loose and ballistic in shipment (have you every held an 80# weight at arms length and dropped it?) it had MANY separate sturdy small parts that held it fairly firmly in the shipping box, and as I recall the bell itself also was enclosed in a thick plastic-type bag. It's a good solid bell, Edsel, almost exactly on-weight and good-sized handle (I have large hands); so have FUN with it! Pax vobis... Captain Jack

I think they got some labels confused. There are no detachable parts small enough to fit in your child's mouth. It's a ride on so it was obviously designed for under 3 years. My nephew loves his, he cries when he has to get off of it. It's perfectly safe.

Why is there no warning on Amazon? Buy Buy Baby warns that it is a choking hazard!

I see one of the responses says glued and sewed. It seemed to me that is the way they are also. My grand daughters were 4 and 6 when I got these for them and no problems with them pulling the eyes off and swallowing them. Someone younger and very destructive could possibly pull them off and eat them but as stated it would take some time and definitely lots of persistence.

The smallest piece included:*Purple bin=blackberry cluster*Red bin=raspberry clusterEach cluster is 4 berries that will not come apart. It measures 2"Length and 1"WidthIf you are concerned with possible choking with the set, then YES there is a choking hazard. As with any children's product, with out proper supervision at all times even the safest tested toy can be a threat. Just remind the child that this is pretend food and it should not be put in a person's mouth. I hope this answer helps. It's a WONDERFUL and very realistic learning toy.

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 got them for my 2 year old for his birthday. I don't think any are small enough to be choking hazards. Most are 4 inches (approx) long.

yes they are the smaller ones that they make. We have them for our granddaughter who is almost 5. I suggest mega blocks for the 1 and 2 year olds and duplo has an in between size for 3 year olds

All of the pieces are quite large, especially for a young child. It would be extremely hard for them to be swallowed.

I not sure what the company says, but my little boy is 4 years old. He is really rough with toys he threw it twice and a piece broke off. There are 3 pieces for assembly 2 wings and the tail piece. The tail piece is about an inch an a half tall. So a child could choke on that if they put it in their mouth. I wouldn't recommend for a small child unless you watch them. Its a really neat toy.

Does anyone know what they consider a choking hazard so it is not safe under 3 years? Are there loose parts?

I don't have the packaging anymore but I was guess 3+! They are sort of small and they have a small ball in the bottom of them (which is what it rolls on...the wheels don't roll) that could come out and be a choking hazard.

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.

They are all tiny pieces. Not for young ones who puts toys in their mouths, nose or ears. My son has been playing with these since he was three, but we don't have any younger ones to worry about if the pieces are left out.

Whether your 2-year-old would like it or not is not the important question. Please note the manufacturer's warning in the yellow box: "WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Not for Children Under 3." Apparently it can come apart into small pieces.

My daughter started playing with these toys at 18mos. I'm think the Amazon over 3 thing is an error he box says 2 and up and I don't see how any of them are a choking hazard but I always supervise my daughter with them just because she isn't yet 2

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!!
