Safety 1st Small Object Choking Tester

I work in the toy industry and this gauge is great for helping define what products will pass testing. This gauge is defined by the ASTM 963-11. If a part fits in the gauge entirely (no parts sticking out): It should not be marked for sale or intended <3yrs of age. Products age 3yrs-6yrs must be marked with a small parts warning Products age 6yrs+ do not require a small parts warning (though it is recommended) As with any strict rule there is still a chance of a hazard even if a part does not fit in the gauge, so caution is best, but its great to understand what requirements manufacturers are held to.

It is beauty. The diameter is 31 cm.

My wife bought this to teach my four-year-old what kind of stuff NOT to give my one year-old. We stuck a couple of things in there like dice or crayon. After a couple of days, it disappeared; but no one seemed to care.

Excellent safety item everyone who cares for or hosts children 3 years of age or less should have.

This is a great little product to have on hand. You can see in an instant if a toy is okay or not okay. :)

It put to rest the wifes concerns about some of our daughters toys. In my mind, that is well worth the price.

Easy to use. Must have accessory for toddlers. Instantly settles the argument between my wife and I for Is this choking size.

If youre a teacher, this is for YOU! Especially as a Toddler teacher. Your Supervisors at school will be impressed that you took the initiative to be safety conscious around children who like to put small objects in their mouths. This, of course, is helpful to new parents who fear things will be choked on. If it fits in the large opening at the top of the tube, then its a choking hazard.

I use this to test toys that I put out for my Learn and Play group (ages newborn through 5 yrs).

My hubby has no infant/toddler experience, so I got this after struggling to explain to him which objects pose a choking hazard. Handed it to him and he totally understands now. He actually went through the house, checking a few things.
