Which type of baby toy should you compare?
Start with the kind of play you have in mind, then check the individual product. A toy may fit more than one category: a fabric rattle can offer both a soft texture and a sound, while an activity toy might include a sorting feature. Compare the main action rather than buying several toys with nearly identical features.
- For textures and sounds: compare sensory toys and rattles. Read how the toy is held, moved and cleaned.
- For fitting pieces together: compare stacking toys and shape sorters. Look at the size and number of pieces, the base and how everything is stored.
- For different actions: compare activity toys. Check what can be pressed, turned or moved, and whether batteries or assembly are required.
- For a soft toy gift: compare fabric, dimensions and washing instructions alongside the design.
Choose by age
Use our age guides as a starting point, then check each product’s manufacturer age recommendation and warnings. Toys with similar appearances can have different age restrictions.
