Safety considerations for Plastic toys
You should know, as a parent, that there is increased in safety concern for plastic toys. In fact, as we write, the US Government is spending several million in dollars into research that if certain chemicals often found in toys can cause cancer. Many substances have already been banned from being used in children’s products.
That is why, on Kidchenz, we usually limit our reviews to products from manufacturers that are FDA-compliant.
Other safety concerns when it comes to toddler’s kitchens are:
Choking hazards
Kids’ kitchens can contain small parts like play food and batteries that can pose a choking risk to toddlers. This is one reason manufacturers’ recommended age is often put at 3. Even at that, parents still need to take active measure to ensure that playsets or the accessories they are buying do not contain small parts that their kids can swallow.
Sharp edges and points
Sharp edge on a child’s plaything is a no-no. Pretend accessories like knives and spoons with sharp points should also be done away with.

Plastic kitchen toysets, as pointed out earlier, are available in a wide range of sizes, design and shapes. They offer parents the best choice when it comes to low cost but high-quality playsets. Listed above are some of the best kitchen toysets in 2019.
