PRODUCT SAFETY & AGE GUIDANCE

Little Polly Bear

At Little Polly Bear, your child’s safety is extremely important to us. As a small, family-inspired business, we take care to design and create our products with attention to quality, materials, and intended use.

This page provides general safety and age guidance to help you choose products that are suitable for your child.

Product Use & Supervision

Our products are designed for their stated purpose only.

Where appropriate, we recommend adult supervision, particularly for items intended for babies and young children. Always inspect items before use and discontinue use if any damage is found.

Toys vs Keepsake Items

Unless clearly stated otherwise, Little Polly Bear products are not toys.

Items that are decorative, personalised, or intended as keepsakes should not be given to a child for unsupervised play.

Suggested wording used across our site:

“This item is not a toy and is intended for decorative or keepsake purposes only.”

Age Suitability

Age guidance is provided on individual product pages where relevant. This guidance is based on the design and intended use of each item.

Please ensure products are appropriate for your child’s age and development stage before use.

Where a product is not suitable for children under 36 months, this will be clearly stated.

Clothing Safety

Our clothing items are designed with children’s safety in mind and comply with relevant UK product safety guidance.

  • Secure stitching and attachments are used

  • No hazardous embellishments for young children

  • Drawstrings and cords follow UK safety guidance

Please always supervise young children and ensure garments fit correctly.

Personalised Items

Personalised products are created exactly as ordered.

We take care to ensure personalisation does not compromise safety. However, customers are responsible for checking suitability before use, particularly for younger children.

Hygiene & Care

Care instructions are provided where applicable. Please follow all care guidance to maintain product safety and quality.

Items intended for hygiene-related use should always be checked before each use.
