Will my toddler choke on Playmobil 123?

[TheIndecisiveElf]

I've got a toddler who will be 16 months at Christmas.

She's currently obsessed with putting everything in her mouth. Playmobil 123 says 18 month plus so will it be ok if she does try to eat it or will it be a choking hazard? I can never work out what size something needs to be to be ok to put in her mouth and what I need to worry about, so I think I maybe err too far on the side of caution!

Things are tested to be safe for under 3s or not. 18months is just the recommended play age developmentally, not safety so they shouldn't be able to choke on it. My toddler has it from that age.

You can by choke testers if you're unsure. If you can put it in the cup then it fails. https://www.safetots.co.uk/babydan-choke-tester.html

Thanks, that's what I thought about it being ok if it's aimed at under threes but then looking at the pictures (of the 123 stuff, not proper Playmobil) some of the bits look quite small so I'm second guessing myself.

I was about to suggest the choke tester. I'm a GP to little ones, and randomly discovered that I still had the tester that I used for my own toddlers! It's been invaluable.
My PIL's neighbour lost her little girl to a choking incident, so it's something I've always been aware of and worried about.

My daughter, who was (and sometimes still is) a bugger for putting things in her mouth, had Playmobil 123 as a toddler and it was fine - unlike standard Playmobil, there are no small bits, and the people are a single, moulded figure, like Happyland.
