Safety Notes
Age Appropriateness
Recommended for toddlers ages 1 to 5 years.
It’s designed with features that are suitable for very young kids (e.g., large buttons, push/pull handle).
Choking / Small Parts
The bus comes with 4 Little People character figures.
While the parts are designed for toddlers, supervision is still important, especially with the figures.
Mechanical / Moving Parts
The bus has a manual door, flip-out stop sign, and a wheelchair ramp.
Because of these movable parts, ensure kids use them safely (e.g., avoid pinching fingers).
Electrical / Battery Safety
The toy uses 2 × AA batteries (zinc or alkaline, depending on the listing).
As with all battery-powered toys:
Use the correct type of batteries.
Insert them properly (polarity).
Do not mix old and new batteries (or different types).
Remove batteries when not in use for a long time to avoid leakage.
Learning / Sound Volume
The bus has 3 Smart Stages levels (learning content, sounds, songs).
While not explicitly a “safety hazard,” parents might want to monitor volume to protect young children’s hearing.
Material Safety (Toxicity Concerns)
According to Target’s listing, Fisher-Price states: “Safety is our top priority … We set a standard that polycarbonate cannot be used in any product that is intended to be mouthed or touch food or made for a child under 3.”
This suggests that the bus avoids some higher-risk plastics.
There are broader concerns about toxic chemicals in toys (e.g., lead or phthalates), but no specific recall seems to target this exact model recently. (Always good to check for up-to-date recalls in your region.)
Material Used
Main body: Made of plastic. Several sources (Target, Fisher-Price) list “Material: Plastic” for the bus.
Figures: Also made of plastic (Little People figures are typically molded plastic).
Battery compartment / electronics: Contains standard plastic housing plus electronic components (circuit board, speaker, LEDs, etc.) — common for musical learning toys.
Handle: The pull-handle (stored underneath) is also plastic.
Finish / Paint: While specific plastic types (e.g., ABS, PVC) are not publicly detailed, Fisher-Price’s safety note (no polycarbonate for children under 3) suggests they choose safer plastic materials for this toy.
