Parents need to be wary of toy ratings
December 6, 2004|
SEATTLE — Nearly every parenting magazine and daytime talk show recommends a list of toys this season.
They’re joined by a host of non-profit organizations rating toys. This year there’s even an entire show, “The Ultimate Toy Awards,” set to air Saturday at noon on WMAQ-Ch. 5.
The goal is to help parents navigate the some 6,000 new toys this year, but with so many “best” claims, parents are left more jaded than enlightened.
