Things to look out for when buying toys

Check the seller - Find out where they're based and read online reviews.

It is genuine? - Check the packaging has a UK address and CE or UKCA mark.

Online marketplaces - Take extra care. Don't assume safety tests have been done.

Be a savvy shopper - Cheapest can mean lowest quality. Shop around and compare with brands.

Keep watching - Check for broken parts, small pieces, stuffing, loose batteries or magnets.
