Perhaps the main requirement for children's toys is that the things that the baby comes into contact with are safe.

The same opinion is shared by the US pediatrician Nkeiruka Orajiaka.

She has become famous far beyond her country's borders thanks to a simple piece of advice that helps ensure that the game does not pose a danger to a child.

The method proposed by the expert involves using a toilet paper roll as a tool to assess the safety of a toy.

What should be done? According to the instructions, parents who doubt the safety of the toy for their child should pass the product through the bushing.

If the toy passes freely through the hole in the sleeve, it is considered that it can just as easily pass into the child's throat.

While this method does not guarantee absolute accuracy, it is still better than nothing.

And since choking is one of the leading causes of death in children, it is important that more parents know about this method and use it to make informed decisions about toy safety for their children.
