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

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!!

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.

These pieces are TINY with lots of littler parts. Maybe 5 yrs. when they don't put things in their mouth - ever!

Hi, in all honesty, all the pieces you see are what comes with it and none of them were that small that I feel that a child would choke on. I gave this to my granddaughter when she was 2 and both her and my grandson who just turned 2 play with it still. He has played with it since he could stand. Hope this helps!

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.

it says 6+ on most boxes. I think the age goes up for products that have potential choking hazards.

I believe they would be safe - I can't thing of any parts small enough to be a choking hazard.

The bus specifies that this toy is best for ages 5+. Not for children under 3 because of choking hazards. My daughter was 6 when she received this science kit.

They are beads so please beware when giving to children under 3. These are very well made and my family has a huge collection that has grown in the past 6 years - we have never lost an eye. However, things happen so please take care with the wee ones. All of the reviews of people giving them to infants worries me. :/

Maybe its because of the little plastic animals that come with it. Although small, I never worried about my grandson choking on them, and he of course never did. Its a sweet little riding toy, any toddler will love. If you were worried about them, I guess you could just put them away.

My grandson was just over a year old when I bought these for him. A bit too young to comprehend building, but he did have fun knocking them down after we built things for him. LOL And they are too big to be a choking hazard so 1 yr old is not too young.

probably because most ty toys have little beads inside them that could be a choking hazard

I am unsure why, but Amazon adds the "children 3 and up, contains small parts" etc warning to many products that don't apply, products clearly designed for infants.Look at the manufacturer age instead- this one says 2 and up, so if it's sold in the US it contains no choking hazards.

Small magnets like this pose a serious health hazard to small children who are at risk of swallowing them. I would not recommend using them for any children's toys.

Amazon now has a warning that this product presents a choking hazard for children under 3 YEARS of age. I could see how toddlers could chew off bits of the foam and choke. So possibly OK for infants but watch out when those teeth come through.
