Manufacturer's age range is wrong? 6 mos. and up? Choking hazard.

Actually anyone can choke on anything. Some people let their toddlers around all types of things and puzzles pieces are no different. So I see nothing wrong with the Caution sentence.

This is what the Product Description said: Product Description Springbok Cliff Hangers Jigsaw Puzzle 1000 Pieces 24" X 30" Ages 12+I would go by the Product Description and not the manufacturer suggestion. This puzzle is more for 12 and up.

I agree it wouild be a choking hazard -- many of the pieces are candy-colored. Aside from that, it is a challenging puzzle best suited for older children and adults.

We actually used this at a church event with several age ranges of kids from 4 years old to 4th grade. The youngest that could do this without a lot of assistance was about 6. The 4 & 5 year old children needed more assistance. This is a generalization, of course, but that's about the youngest that played with it and had any interest. The box lists choking hazards for children under 3 so we didn't have those children at do it. My 8 year old daughter actually got very good at this and wound up helping the younger ones. All of the kids older than 6 could figure it out pretty quick and enjoyed playing with it. We actually used this at a church event with several age ranges of kids from 4 years old to 4th grade.

Manufacturer states from about 5 months with no upper age range. Weight limit of 25 lbs for child will probably be limiting factor for upper age. My son started using at about 5-6 months with no problem. Their is a recall on a specific piece in the set that has been redesigned and for those who already had purchased it was replaced. All new jumpers being sold now have the new redesigned piece. My son has been using this for about two months and really enjoys it and I have not observed anything dangerous about the set overall or with the individual pieces.

Yes that's why they had to put an age requirement on this toy. I let my 2 year old play with these. He was always supervised. This is a great toy but if you let your child under 3 play with this set alone it could be considered a choking hazard.

My child is 5 and really enjoys playing with it. I think you could go as young as 3. None of the parts are too small to really worry about a choking hazard.

I don't remember & I don't have the box anymore. There are no small parts that could be a choking hazard so I would say maybe 6 months to 3yrs? The pre-K kids like it too but they would be too big to ride on it

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.

I believe the package said 6+ months. I think you could probably give them to a 4 or 5 month old and be fine since there aren't any small parts for a choking hazard. My baby was 6 months old when I gave them to her but she started playing with ball-like items about a month or so earlier.

I would not have a three-year old play with this because of the choking hazards. It comes with a lot of miniature accessories, like a hand dryer, for example, that a three-year old could easily put in their mouth.

Not a choking hazard. I think they are perfectly sized for a 1-year-old, though I have to admit I don't love the selection of blocks included.

I have a four year old and a 20 month old and they both use it and love it. I don't believe any of the parts are a real choking hazard, but it really depends if the younger child still puts things in their mouth, my 20 month old doesn't.

Nothing wrong... It's just is deep. 4.5 months old is still too young to use this product. I tried that with my son when he's about that age.. Too deep so i removed the toy tray because it's right in his face. Never put that piece back... He enjoyed looking around at that age then he started learned to jump so on... I guess they made that deep for safety reason.

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.

Some of the pieces are a bit on the small side and the manufacturer states not younger than 4 years old. It was a great present for a 3 year old, but her 1 year old brother would have to be monitored at all times when in the "block room". I would hate to say 100% safe for a 7 mos. old. Sorry.

I see that others responded with exact sizes, I can tell you that none are even close to choking hazard, in spite of the choking hazard listed. The hippo is largest at around 7in and the smallest is about 3in - we have several of these sets and my daughter was 6mths old when we bought the first. Obviously she wasn't playing with them yet, but even then they were all safe. These are the largest size toys of this nature I've seen in sets for this price. They are high quality, classroom type toys. Hope this helps!

I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways. I have 4,6 years old and 11 month old baby, and they both love it :) Younger one is not yet putting coins in himself, but if I place it on the opening, he will push it down.. he will take it from the piggy if I open the 'window' thingie, and he will enyoy the music. And he will walk around with coins in his mouth and chew on them, of course :) Older one is very creative in playing :) Another great toy from Fisher Price :) I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways.

A 6 year old would probably be at the tail-end of playing with this set. I think their imagination would be going forward to something more interactive for that age. Would probably play with it at first out of curiosity, but don't see it lasting long as approaching 6 1/2 or 7.
