Choke Tube Tester

Comments about Dorel Juvenile Group Choke Tube Tester:

I recently purchased several choke tubes for my 5 and 7 year old grand daughters. They now have a new little baby sister and live in a house filled with choking hazards. Barbie shoes and accessories are everywhere along with hundreds of other tiny things. I showed the girls how to check their toys with the choke tube so the baby won't get hurt. They think it is like a game to go around and check all their big girl toys now. At least maybe they will know what is safe and not safe before they let the baby have a toy.

I bought one of these when OSA had them before, a year or two ago. I was thrilled to find one then and am glad to see they are carrying them again because they are hard to find. Although I only choose toys labeled as not having choking hazards, if I have any doubt I can now test it myself. However, please keep two things in mind. First, toys approved as safe for under 3 must both not contain choking hazard sized pieces AND not produce them upon normal usage (i.e. must not break into small pieces easily as determined by specific tests). The purpose of this device is Not to disregard toy age recommendations or safety warnings. So just because that toy with a choking hazard warning does not fit in the tube, does not mean you should let your baby/toddler play with it. Second, if you do find a toy mislabeled (toy labeled for under 3 that does contain choking hazard(s), as did a previous reviewer), please, please please, report it to the company AND to the CPSC (simply fill out the form at [@]). Thank you! Finally, this great tool is only[$] I would have paid much more for the peace of mind it provided.

I have children ranging from 15 mos to 14 years. This is great. Instead of telling my older children to pick up their small items and ensure they are not around, the babies can choke on them, we can use the tool to see what can and what can not be around the house. It is a great coaching device to help the older children understand the importance of items. Before using this, they felt the item had to be relatively small, but now they realize it is larger than they imagined. Great tool!

This item is cheap and can be a lifesaver. I think any parent of a baby needs to have this item. I purchased this choke tube tester because some blocks in a block set my son received seemed small. When I tested the blocks in the tube, I was indeed correct, some of the blocks were too small and it was listed as safe for his age on the box. Thankfully I had this device to test the size and removed all the small blocks, making it safe for him to play with !

This product is great. My little guy likes to play with a lot of his big sister's toys and I am never sure what is too small, but this product lets me know immediately!
