Safety First at True Little North™

Ensuring the safety and well-being of children is our top priority at True Little North™. We are committed to offering products that are not only engaging but also adhere to the highest safety standards. Please review the following comprehensive safety guidelines and recommendations for our products:

General Safety Guidelines:

  • Adult Supervision: Always supervise children during playtime to prevent accidents.

  • Age Appropriateness: Ensure that each product is suitable for your child's age and developmental stage.

  • Regular Inspection: Before use, inspect products for wear, damage, or loose components. Discontinue use if any issues are found.

  • Safe Environment: Set up play areas away from hazards such as stairs, sharp edges, or hard surfaces.

  • Reporting Issues: Should any of our products look unsafe due to poor manufacturing, wear, breakage, or any other reason, STOP using them immediately and contact us for either repairs or replacement.

  • Natural Material Variation: Individual elements of the natural color variant of the product may slightly vary due to the natural feature of wood or finish. Colors may slightly vary from pictures due to lighting conditions.

Product-Specific Safety Recommendations:

Playmats and Playpens:

  • Non-Toxic Materials: Our playmats, including the Alzip Wunderkids Color Folder Playmat, Alzip Wunderkids Deluxe Folder Playmat, and Alzip Wunderkids Prima Playpen, are made from non-toxic materials. They are free from heavy metals, including VOCs, Formaldehyde, Flame Retardants, Bisphenol A, Toluene, 2-Methoxyethylacetate, and Nitrobenzene. For more information about safety, you can access all the third-party lab test results here.

  • Pre-Steam Washed: The Color Folder Playmat and Deluxe Folder Playmat come pre-steam washed three times and are odor-free.

Wooden Climbers:

  • Supervision: Please pay close supervision at all times to your child/children while playing with our products.

  • Height Safety: Climbing and being at any height off the ground level can be dangerous. We strongly suggest placing the Climbers on carpet or soft surfaces and adding cushions/padding around while the kids learn how to climb.

  • Placement: Place the Climbers away from other objects and sharp corners. Do not place near stairs, ledges, or drops.

  • Adjustment and Assembly: Only allow parents/guardians to adjust the angles or move the climbers. Always properly secure the hardware included in the correct locations as instructed in the Manuals.

  • User Considerations: Use your best judgment when changing angles based on your children's age, balance, and climbing capabilities.

  • Footwear: We highly recommend using our products without feet coverings such as socks, slippers, or other items that may cause slipping.

  • Weight and Age Limits: Please always respect the age limitations and maximum weight limit for each product mentioned on our website and instruction manuals.

  • Inspection: Inspect all the components of the climber frequently.

  • Limited Use: Limit the number of children on the climber at the same time to reduce the risk of injury. We suggest one child at a time on the climber.

Balance Boards:

  • Skill Assessment: Use caution with the surf balance board. Stick to your skill level, progress gradually, and expect falls during the learning process.

  • Trick Safety: Avoid advanced tricks beyond your skill set. Using the balance board involves inherent risks, and your safety is your responsibility.

  • Safe Environment: Use the board in a safe, open area, away from sharp or dangerous objects/furniture.

  • Surface Considerations: It is recommended to ride the board on either carpet or a non-slippery mat for the best surface.

Learning Towers/Kitchen Helpers/Toddler Towers:

  • Supervision: Children must be supervised at all times when using the Learning Tower.

  • Age Recommendation: Designed for children aged 4 years and above. Note: Designed for use based on your child’s developmental stage, not only age. Your child should be able to stand securely before using the tower.

  • Proper Use: Instruct children to use the Learning Tower only for its intended purpose.

  • Placement: Place on a flat, stable surface away from hazards. Keep away from fire, stoves, ovens, and other hot surfaces to prevent burns or injuries.

  • Inspection: Regularly check for signs of wear, damage, or loose components.

  • Footwear: Ensure children wear non-slip footwear when using the Learning Tower.

  • Storage: Store the Learning Tower in a safe location when not in use to prevent unsupervised use.

Beds and Cribs:

  • Wall Clearance: For safety reasons, place the bed less than 1.5 inches or at least 12 inches away from the wall to prevent a child from becoming trapped between the bed and the wall.

  • Safe Environment: Make sure the room is safe for the child to wander around. This includes covering outlets, removing cords, and ensuring a child-friendly setting.

  • Sleep Safety: Always follow your health care provider's requirements for safe sleeping. This may include removing pillows, duvets, or covers to avoid suffocation.

  • Protective Padding: We recommend using bumpers or pads on the edges of the floor bed until your child becomes accustomed to sleeping in it or until they feel comfortable without them.

  • Supervision: Never leave your child unattended.

Furniture:

  • Bookshelves & Book Displays: Must be secured to the wall with brackets to prevent tipping hazards.

While our products are designed with safety in mind, they are not substitutes for adult supervision. True Little North™ is not liable for any injuries resulting from improper use or lack of supervision.
