Cheri

CrazyRedHeadWV;

I cannot help but read your post about your child is 2 1/2 years old and own up to 250 hot wheels cars did you know that they are not good for little children at that age? Toy parts should be bigger than the child's mouth up to age 3 to avoid the chance of choking.


Mommyof3;

You also said the same thing about your child who is 2 1/2 yrs old own hot wheel cars also. I don't know if you both are aware of dangerous of small pieces on the cars like the tires. If your 2 1/2 year old still puts everything into his mouth, continue to clear of toys and games with small parts and pieces for safely reasons. Just a suggestion of course.

Hot Wheels cars and trucks cannot fit in the mouth??? He loves to plays with it. I have the picture of him with his Hot Wheels.. Look at it... He LOVES anything that has wheels on it.

I won't let him have those Hot Wheels MIRCO cars and truck which are very tiny, yes, kids can choke on it.. But those Hot Wheels are bigger than Mirco's.

See this picture of him with his collections.. My family got him 3 set of 10 cars from Toy R Us and he loved it too much!

Ok, I am just stating what I got from my Doctor a booklet that shows the dangerous of small toys for Toddlers to avoid the risks of choking or injury. I don't know if you have got the same book from your child's doctor. I understand your boy loves Hot Wheel cars but it is on the list in the booklet for children under the age of 3.

Ah, I got it at last, Crazymomma! At first I has no clue what you mean "Hot Wheels cars" until I saw the pictures of your sons with cars.

Yes, my son Alan is one of them who was collected cars since he was 2 years old total up to over 1,000 cars like what I said at my last post. We still have many cars in the basement. We´ll sell the cars to flea markets (children flea market twice a year) to improve Alan´s pocket money. He is collecting knights, Ritters figures now.
