American-made products are definitely the way to go for anyone interested in buying safe, quality products for children! Although no country has a perfect track record, and recalls happen everywhere, American safety standards are high and manufacturers are held responsible for their products. European toys also tend to be very safe and well-made. Below is a list of my favorite sites that I have found so far that offer American and European toys for children of all ages. (Some sites also sell products made in other countries. I have done my best to note which sites have search and filter options to find only those products from America and Europe.)
I am constantly looking for new sites that offer large selection and quality products. As I find them, I will continue to update this list. If you know of any good sites that aren't on this list and should be, please email me at stop.china@yahoo.com with the subject "New website" and I will research the site and add it.
