To want to throw this Christmas gift away

[AIBUToday]

Fil and his wife have given my 2 year old (just turned 2) a Christmas train set. Its for a 3 year old and checking online it's some mega cheap tatty one with a Chinese name on the side. Its very very cheap and tatty looking. I'm worried about toxins in cheap toys from China.
They aren't short on money.
AIBU to give to a charity shop? It's so cheap looking I think they might be insulated with it though.

I would give it away based on the age suitability alone. My two year old still puts all sorts in his mouth and a train set for a 3 year old will likely have small parts.

I'm not sure you mentioned in your post whether the toy is cheap or not? Can you clarify?

Set it aside for when he's three.

Is it cheap do you think? Would it be embarrassing to give away??

I would give it away based on whether it has the relevant safety standards for kids toys.

Your kid your choice, but you seem slightly out to get them. I have a two year old - playing with 3+ toys / putting them aside until interesting for the child is the norm here. Toxins in cheap toys? Where are the rest of your toys from, exactly? Does it matter that it looks “cheap and tatty” if your little one would enjoy it? And what the hell does their income have to do with anything?

Is it the fact it's cheap when they aren't short on money or really because it's from China?

If it has lots off small parts YANBU but it sounds like the main point of this post is because it's cheap and then YABU. Be grateful they get your child something.

Everything comes from China these days.

You sound very, um, entitled.

You seem very quick to dismiss it as cheap and even quicker to go online and do some “research” on it, on Christmas Day

If you're worried about toxins then recycle it, don't give it to a charity shop!

DD has received 3+ gifts and she's 17 months. They're fine, as long as they don't have small parts.

Sounds like it's not naice enough for you.

You researched the present?

You sound like the type who will never be happy

Keep it until he's three.

I'm guessing there is more going on here?

Bin it if it's full of toxins, don't give it to another kid!

Cheap is fine so long as it's not tatty, oh wait...

In my experience most 2 year oles can't distinguish between a cheap Chinese train set and one that was hand crafted by Swiss cuckoo clock makers

Do with it what you want but be grateful they got a present!

It's definitely not sold by a legit proper store. So probably won't conform to EU safety standards.

If you are worried about toxins why give it away where it will affect another child??? Bin it is my advice.

Currently watching my 3 year old play happily with a hot wheels 5-10 set. Can you not supervise play? Be a shame to throw it

So op is it

"I think this toy is dangerous and full of toxins, Aibu to donate it to charity so a poor family can get the toxins instead?"

Or

"Aibu that if you're family are rich, they should icky buy you and your kids expensive presents and if they don't I'm entitled to give them away?"

Which safety standard do you think it might be breaking?
Can we see a photo?

Toxins are bad for your kid but fine for someone else's ?

Do you have a link to what your research came up with?

If it doesn’t have the CE mark on then chuck it, the charity shop want want it either.

This year about 40% of MILs gifts have gone in the charity shop bag, that is an improvement from previous years when it’s been nearer 80%.
