Our Flat Friends® products are tested by professional testing organisations using the highest and most stringent tests, which covers all requirements set by the countries listed in the table above.
The tests were conducted for product safety for new born babies. Even our Flat Friends® products that are marked suitable for age three years plus have been tested as safe for new born babies. However, we mark them three years plus because the toys are not suitable for new born babies.
All tests have come back with a pass for safety for new born babies.
Your safety is very important. We want you, your baby and child to enjoy every moment with your Flat Friend® and to be delighted with beautiful memories that you cherish.
Our safety tests include:
Our Flat Friend® Lambskin/Sheepskin Soft Toy Baby Comforters have been around since 1996. Many babies have grown up with their Flat Friend®. These babies and parents have taught us a lot about our Flat Friend® Lambskin/Sheepskin Soft Toy. What many parents have said to us is; “My baby can’t do without their Flat Friend® and this why I purchased a second Flat Friend®.” We have found that babies become very attached to their Flat Friend®, resulting in parents buying a second as a back-up and these babies grow into children who love the animal associated with their Flat Friend®. This is our reward for creating a soft toy using 100% Australian Premium Dense Soft and Luxurious Lambskin or Sheepskin Fleece with no stuffing, which is pure fur and leather and all natural with excellent tactile properties.
Over the years we have refined the making of our lambskin/sheepskin soft toys:
We want children to love animals and use accessories and colours that will give the soft toy the detail to easily identify the animal. We make our flat two-dimensional animal lambskin/sheepskin soft toys cute, friendly and cuddly.
Our Lambskin/Sheepskin Soft Toys undergo rigorous tests conducted by a certified professional toy testing organisation. These organisations follow the regulations for safety requirements for use by new born babies by the countries listed in our table at the top of this page.
