FAQ

Products

How should I set up my products?

Products should be set up on a non-slip mat or rug. The space should also be free of obstacles and anything that could be considered a trip hazard.

Where are Born Ready Toys manufactured?

We manufacture our products locally by hand in Zurich, Switzerland and in partnership with a family carpentry business in the south of Germany.
Choosing where to manufacture our products was a very important decision for us. We wanted to ensure that we could uphold quality craftsmanship whilst also ensuring sustainable methods and our environmental footprint was reduced as much as possible.

Are the products safe?

Yes. Safety is something we take very seriously at Born Ready Toys and we are following the European CE recommendation and the EN 71-1 standard for safety of toys.

In order to get our products CE certified we had them tested by DEKRA, an independent and professional testing organisation in Germany.

Safety is however also very much up to how your product is used and therefore reading and following the manual is very important.

I am not sure which product is best for my child, what do you recommend?

We recommend checking out our products. Each of our product pages include a recommended age range, prerequisite skills and skills to develop.
