Safety 1st Small Object Choking Tester

Smaller than expected

I purchased this to use at our child care center. It is amazing how many items we had that were just a bit too small, a lifesaver for families as well.

I work at a daycare where there are children of all ages. We have to test the toys we put out to make sure the smaller children cannot choke on them. This is the second time we have bought this item. We had one we used for years and years, then it got misplaced. So, we ordered another one from Amazon. This is an ideal item for anyone who has small children.

My grandson that is 11 has three new little brothers in the past year. Since he had none for so long, he has gotten used to using his legos, electronic, building sets anywhere....I showed him this and he spend a half hour stuffing things in it - learning, oh my gosh, my brothers can choke on anything! Practical and useful demo. Thank you

Save yourself some money and just use the toilet paper role method. A 4 year old boy in Australia just choked to death on a ball that was 1.5 inches and that ball would not fit in this. I feel this is much smaller than it should be. We go by the toilet paper role because really anything under 2 inches is chokeable to children under 5 since their throat is 1.5 inches. His tragic death brought much awareness to what size toys are actually chokeable. No toy is worth it.

Very satisfactory.

Im a toddler teacher and I prefer having this on hand for testing small and loose parts.

Things a lot smaller than expected stick out of this (per instructions). It must be right...but its difficult to believe. We still tossed the smallest things that passed but were able to save several things that would have failed the toilet paper tube test.

This is a really great iproduct as they allow you to test any detachable toy part to see if it really meets safety standards. Promptly delivered..Might seem a little expensive for what it is,but worth it to be sure of your childs safety!

Simple tool, might not be necessary for most but it is helpful when in doubt. We used this at a daycare center just to be sure.
