Anyone else gone down the rabbit hole of toy material safety. what actually changed your buying habits
It started when my daughter was about 18 months. I opened a bag of magnetic letters we got as a gift and the smell hit me immediately. I googled it and ended up reading for 3 hours about PVC, phthalates, ABS plastic, surface coatings, the whole thing.
That was 2 years ago. My buying habits are completely different now and honestly I cannot tell if I am being a responsible parent or just anxious. Probably both.
Curious what others found when they started looking into this. Was there a specific moment that changed how you shop? And what do you actually look for now before buying something?
