✅ What to Check If You Buy a Toy‑Gun If you consider buying a toy‑gun, safety should be the top priority. Experts and toy‑safety organizations recommend: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission +2 wondertoys.co.in +2 Age‑appropriateness: Ensure the toy‑gun is designed for your child’s age. Younger children (under ~5–6 years) often shouldn’t have projectile‑shooting toys. winnersmaze.com +1 Soft projectiles / safe tips: If it shoots darts or pellets — they must be soft (foam, rubber tips) to minimize risk of injury. Avoid hard pellets, metal bits, or anything that can hurt. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission +1 Non‑realistic look: Prefer guns with obviously toy‑like visual design — bright or unrealistic colors; no realistic markings or features that might make them resemble real firearms. This reduces the risk of dangerous misunderstandings. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission +1 Supervised play & safe environment: Toy‑gun play should be under adult supervision, ideally in safe, open spaces (not crowded public places), and kids need to understand boundaries (don’t aim at faces, avoid rough play). wondertoys.co.in +2 Nationwide Children's Hospital +2 Regular inspection: Over time, toy‑guns (especially ones that shoot darts) can break or wear — loose parts or broken mechanisms can be dangerous.
