Are these safe for children under 3 years?

I got this for my son at 2. For him it was perfectly safe because he never put it in his mouth and it doesn't break easily. He just plays with it for hours and hours on the wooden train track.

I would say yes. My son is 2 1/2 and has been playing with these types of trains for quite a while. Never any issues. They don't come apart that I know of.

I bought it for my three old grandson. He was fine with thus item. He is mature & does not put things in his mouth. The wheels may come off I guessif pulled.

They are quite likely manipulable by a 2yo, but there are smaller pieces, and the warning on the set is "not for children under 3" and the bucket is recommended for 5+ (got them for our 7yo, but our 4yo whizzed through them.) If you have an "eater" or your child explores the world by taste... then absolutely not. Otherwise, it's counter to mfg recommendation.

They are appropriate for older children. My daughter is 4 and we split them in half for her.

I think they could be. My three year old loves to chew them. She has given hers quite a workout.

I bought these for my daughter's 3 year old preschool class as a request by her teacher. I wasn't there when they actually used them, but I'm sure they'd be fine for 5-7 year olds.

I am sure they are safe for newborns. You can use one for tracking practice. The sounds and different textures are good for brain stimulation from birth too. (from a formerly certified birth-3 parenting educator) The age range on toys is not only about safety, it corresponds with normal physical and cognitive development. 6 mos. is when most babies will begin to be interested in or able to play with this toy. The + means there is no age limit.

My daughter chewed them fine but she is also 7 when I started her on them. That's such a big age difference I wouldn't know if 18 months is old enough. Maybe call them and ask for a free sample. Hugs and luck...

I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter, and she did fine with them. I am not sure what "listed" age was, but if the child is out of the "put everything in your mouth" stage (8 months -2 years) you should be okay...we didn't use ours as cake toppers, they were just toys she played with while watching the show; she kept them in her purse ;-).

It really depends on the child. I would say for the average 3 year old yes. My daughter is very tall for her age so they were a bit small.

No! These are small. Not appropriate for a kid over 2. I bought for my four- year-old and was very disappointed.

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.

The child and age of child would be a consideration but my 3yo hasn't even attempted as far as I know. It would be very difficult in my opinion. We never open them when he is in the room. Since he can see through them, he probably hadn't seen any need to try. I feel very secure with them.

I wouldn't as they could slide through where the feet go. I'd wait until they are at least 5 or 6 months old.

The packaging says "6 months +" but my son used them occasionally until he was 3.

In my opinion they are not small enough to pose a choking hazard to a 7 mo. old. I don't believe any of the pieces are small enough to choke on.

No, this item is meant for very young children. I would say up to 5 years old.

My grandson was 3 when I bought them for him. I think as long as they don't put them in their mouth, they should be good for 2 year olds. My grandson plays with them for hours!
