I envision the toys as being covered in infectious disease.
Do you let your LO play with the toys in the waiting room of a doctor's office?

I work in a dental office and we have toys in the waiting area and I know for a fact that nobody cleans them at the end of the day. When LO gets old enough, I will not let her play with toys in the waiting area...ewww
-
my LO eyed them at our last visit and just looking at them gave me the heebeejeebees, yuck
-
There are no toys but there are books and I have let the LO read them. I am probably in the minority, though. I see all the other parents freaking out in waiting rooms and telling their kids not to touch anything. I just shrug. LO doesn't get sick a lot.

There's a zany zoo thing at our pediatrician's waiting room. We let her roam and wash her hands when we get to the examination room!
-
My LO isnt old enough yet, but usually when I see kids playing with those all I can think of is cross contamination of germs. I dont think they should keep toys in waiting rooms
-
I probably will bring our own to play with if necessary and our own books, I hate gross germs, and a kid's doctor's office has to be filled with them!
-
It grosses me out, but I let her run
She usually spends most of her time looking at the fishies in the aquarium or with the germy crayons.

There are no toys, just a little climbing structure for kids to sit on and watch the TV. Just that was enough to give Wagon Jr. a 24 hour fever last time we were there for his chin rash. Friggin.
ETA: we were THOROUGH with the purell afterwards, too!!!
-
Never. I bring snacks to distract him or our own toys.
-
We usually bring our own toys but if he really wants to play with something at the doc's office, we'll let him. And then we sanitize like crazy afterwards.
-
She's too young to care now. But I'm going to make a point of it to bring my own special, clean toys.

DS has always been too young to care at our appointments. Our pediatrician now doesn't have any toys though. I always take our stuff anyway.
-
Where we wait, there are no toys. So I bring Mavrick a few toy cars and books and we are good.
