Children’s toys should suit their age, the space available and how they will actually be played with. In practice, however, a good purchasing decision is based not on eye-catching colours or lengthy product descriptions, but on verifiable details: materials, age recommendation, dimensions, load capacity and what is included.
When choosing toys for children aged 3 and over, three common purchasing issues often arise:
The age recommendation is a key point to check. With educational toys, construction toys and wind-up toys, parents should check whether individual parts could be swallowed. This is particularly important with magnetic building blocks: damaged blocks must no longer be used if magnets are visible or loose. If magnets are swallowed, seek medical help immediately.
For settings such as nurseries, an additional visual inspection before every use is recommended. Products for children under 36 months must be checked particularly carefully for small parts.
For indoor toys, the footprint, noise level and storage requirements matter. A children’s trampoline measuring around 91.6 × 91.6 cm requires sufficient clearance from furniture and walls on all sides. It must only be placed on a level, stable surface. For active outdoor toys, such as a children’s slide or a bowling game, the surface must likewise be firm and free from obstacles.
Direct adult supervision should be planned for trampolines, flying balls and active throwing games. A toy is not automatically suitable for unsupervised play simply because it has a safety cover or rounded edges.
Objective product details help put marketing claims into context:
Also pay attention to the cleaning instructions. Some products may only be wiped clean with a dry cloth, while PP toys can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For quieter activities, construction toys, magnetic building blocks and a marble run are ideal. With a marble run, the contents should include all the required marbles and connecting pieces. The age recommendation must also be suitable for the size of the marbles.
An indoor basketball game can be a space-saving alternative to larger equipment. Before buying, check whether the return net, balls and electronic scoreboard are actually included. A flying ball with a lithium battery should only be used under supervision and must not be operated while charging.
A larger children’s slide or a children’s trampoline requires more space and careful consideration of where it will be placed. For birthdays and parties, bowling games, ring toss games and simple wind-up toys are often easier to transport and quick to set up.
Products with a clear age recommendation, a manageable number of pieces and easy-to-understand safety instructions are suitable. Wind-up toys, simple throwing games and certain construction sets may be suitable options. Supervision is particularly important with magnetic building blocks, as strong magnets must not be swallowed.
The SPORTSOUL model measures approximately 91.6 × 91.6 cm. In addition, a clear safety zone around the equipment and sufficient overhead clearance are required. Only one person may jump at a time; the maximum load is 25 kg.
Regularly check the battery, charging port and casing for visible damage. A flying ball must not be used near faces, sharp objects or power lines. It should not be played with while charging.
