Chemicals to avoid in baby and kids toys

At The Tot, we never use or recommend anything that hasn’t passed The Tot Test. This means we’ve looked deep into third-party testing, examined ingredients lists and asked in-depth questions about a product’s composition to ensure it doesn’t contain any of the ingredients we avoid.

When it comes to toys, we like to steer clear of the below chemicals because babies and kids tend to explore things with their mouths, have sensitive skin and delicate respiratory systems.

  • BPA + BPS
  • PVC
  • Harmful Phthalates
  • Formaldehyde
  • Lead and other heavy metals
