Pillow Pet Safety Issues For Children

Maybe you have never heard of the Pillow Pet, but in a nut shell it is a stuffed animal that children play with and when they get tired it also easily unfolds and acts as a pillow during their nap time. This is one of those as seen on TV type products, where you can buy the product by calling the eight hundred number on the commercial or go to their companies website to purchase on line. It seems that these toys are all the rage right now with our youngsters, and I can see why. They are quite adorable as they come in vibrant and attractive colors in shapes ranging from farm animals, to sea creatures, to critters found on the African plains. They double as a cut adorable cuddly pet one minute, and at the loosening of a Velcro strap they unfold into a secure and plush pillow. With child toy safety and I wondered about the safety of the Pillow Pet for my own children, and here is what I found.

I think hear on the news every year of toys being recalled due to safety issues and some type of awful occurrence where a child gets hurt. One really good thing about the Pillow Pet is that there are no small pieces that come with the product that a child can put in their mouth. There is nothing that can be chewed or swallowed that could be some type of potential hazard for a child playing with it. Also, these stuffed animals are furry and soft, and there really is no way for a child to hurt another child with it. After all, these toys double as cuddly pillows so how dangerous could they really be? A Pillow Pet is made of chenille material which as far as I can tell from minimal research is non toxic, and the product is manufactured extremely well and does not look like it will come apart with heavy or rough play. The seams are joined tightly and the material will not fray and thread, so nothing should fall apart due to loose strings.

I am not an expert on toy safety for children, but common sense would tell just about anyone that a Pillow Pet is safe for children to play with, and sleep with. I am tired of seeing toys come out on the market every year and cause harm to our children, because they were not adequately tested by the company before the release. I do not see any of these issues at all with the Pillow Pet. My daughter keeps asking me when I am going to buy her a Pillow Pet, and they are so cute and adorable you know I going to get it for her. She likes Alli Alligator and Mr. Bear, but she also is quite fond of Buzzy Bumble Bee and Zippity Zebra. So rest easy parents, I do not think we have anything to worry about concerning safety issues with a Pillow Pet.
