Kids R Kids Toys

Horrible!!! Maria refuses to pay her vendors for the toys she buys for her store to sell!

Sometimes I would rather pay a local business than give my money to a large chain. The prices are higher than some other stores and you can find some items cheaper on
, but again… supporting local shops is a good thing.
There is a good selection and they do gift wrap.

This store is family owned and operated. The main owner is terrific and very personable. They are willing to help you get what you need without being overbearing. The selection is great and very unique. I agree that the exterior décor does not speak to the selection inside. Definitely a better experience that toys-​r-​us!

This is a terrific toy store for its size. The name is a little cheesy, I think, and the outside of the store is pretty unappealing — makes it look cheaper than it is. But inside the place has a wonderful selection of toys and games for various ages. My son goes to school across the street, and we are in there fairly often to buy presents for birthday parties. They have great suggestions, and had a range of price points from tiny plastic $ 2 toy things to $ 100 Bruder trucks. The store is small and doesn’t have the selection of bigger stores, but I highly recommend it if you’re in the WRox/​JP/​Dedham area. Much more creative stocking than the big-​box stores.

I want to like this toy store. I don’t think it’s part of a chain. I’d like to think I’m supporting a local toy store in the age of Toys R Us, McDonalds’ Happy Meals, and Target.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed that this store carried a toy Mighty Magz that has been pulled from schools, major retailers, and worried parents. I bought the toy and gave it as a gift to a friend’s child. I was quickly scolded by my peers that this toy can be easily ingested by a child and cause serious injury and death.
I called Kids R Kids Toys the next day angry, wondering why it carried the toy. When I asked to speak with a manager I was told none would be available to speak with for days. I was also told no one had heard of Magz being potentially dangerous to kids.
I was a bit shocked that the store wasn’t aware of any dangers associated with Magz or magnetic toys. The next day my wife returned the Mighty Magz toy. She says the store was defensive and rude.
Being defensive, rude, and NOT playing it safe when it comes to child safety is/​was the wrong way to handle the situation. How about saying «geese, I understand your concerns.» The store was wrong to handle our concerns this way. This store should be more on top of what dangerous toys are and be more understanding to parents who are concerned about their child’s safety. There are so many toy recalls these days I would hope my local toy store would have a handle on dangerous toys (recalled or «dangerous») and not make me feel like I have to spend an hour researching what toys are safe and unsafe before I step foot in the store.
For the record… The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has not specifically recalled this product, however several states have taken independent action to remove Mighty Magz from store shelves and public schools. Many private schools have taken similar action. The CPSC has also put together a very good report on the dangers of small magnets and kids. You can find it here (
