My nephew loves Thomas & Amazon has this pillow pet that I was thinking about getting him for Christmas. He will be 18 months old then. I'm confused by the fact that it says it's intended for 6 months and up but also has a warning about small parts and says it's not for anyone under 3 years. Anyone have any experience with this item or anything similar?
