If a toy looks like something that my oldest LO would like, and I know she can handle it at her age I will buy it for her regardless of the age recommendation. She has these little plastic animals that she plays with for hours on end but the age recommendation is 3+. She also plays with Legos with her cousins, but is always supervised and has never been one to put things in her mouth. However, my youngest is only 8 months old so anything that's smaller than her hand I keep out of her reach.

Do you follow age recommendations on toys? Or do you use your own judgement?
