Lotso hugging bear 4yrs and up?!

[Lucyhas]

I was just wondering if I was missing something. A cuddly bear that talks and smells of strawberries is not suitable for 3yrs and under. Does anyone know why?

Nobody?

Isn't it just a general safety thing? I'm sure most of Ds's soft toys say not suitable for under 36 months but he had them when he was younger than that. The only time I wouldn't allow them when he was younger is if they had plastic eyes or noses or any extra bits that could come loose.

My DD has it and isn't 3 until next week! In fact, I think it was given to her last Xmas. I don't remember reading 4yrs+ .

It has no loose parts. I suppose they eyes in theory could come off....?

My understanding (from DSIL who works in this field) is that toys for 3 years plus haven't gone through the more rigorous and expensive tests you need before advertising a toy for under-3's.

Oh right, I was thinking it might be because of fur loss but I suppose if she is never left within unsupervised it should be fine??? Maybe??

Apparently he's a bit of a handful. A bit bossy etc. I wouldn't put it past him to label himself as 3+

lucyhas I wouldn't worry too much, what age is it for?

It's for pops 1st birthday. Her cousin has one and she loves him. Her cousin has had his since he was 2.
