What to watch out for when buying toys online

HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:

Shop early. Don't leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don't know and do your research checking reviews and where they're based.
Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer's own website to check it's legit.
Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
