Kids Stuff

I have never outgrown my love for toys. My friends would usually suppress a chuckle whenever I volunteer to take their kids at Toys R Us because they know that I’ll surely end up buying stuff for myself.

I’m not really particular when it comes to toy marks or brands. Back when I was still a kid, I usually just tell my parents that any toy would do as long as it has wings. I found out a few years later that brands or marks sometimes do matter. There’s this one toy maker that drew the ire of many parents and consumer groups for having distributed faulty products.

If you don’t want your children to wear holiday frowns next month, make sure that the manufacturer of the toy that you’ll be buying has a good reputation for producing durable goods. Check court records if the company has been the subject of complaints in the past.
