Playing Santa to some tiny tots this holiday season?

Be sure you have safety in the bag. Each year, thousands of children are injured while playing with toys. The Consumer Product Safety Commission offers these suggestions for shopping with safety in mind.

Follow the manufacturer's age guidelines, but also keep the child's skill level in mind.
Buy quality toys that are well made and won't break easily.
Examine toys for sharp edges.
Look for small parts that could come off and go into a child's mouth.
Objects with a diameter of 1.75 inches or less are a common cause of choking.
Be sure painted surfaces contain only non-toxic materials.
Look for safety labels such as "washable/hygienic materials" on stuffed toys and "flame resistant/retardant" on clothes.
Watch for media alerts about newly-identified problems or hazards.
