1. grapes
2. blueberries
3. hot dog pieces
4. Kix or other round cereal puffs
5. Skittles, M&Ms, or round candy pieces (not that you’re giving it to your baby but if someone else is enjoying them, they are likely to find them around somewhere)
6. ball bearings (like in Magnetix or MagneBlocks)
7. marbles (in several kids’ games)
8. Rokenbok balls
9. Lego heads, wheels, and tires
10. stringing beads (or beads on little girls’ accessories)

    because they are slippery.. i would assume.. and ive seen many people cut them into rounds which makes them more dangerous.. i think its find if they are cut the right way .. and if its a bigger child.. its simply cause they dont chew well and gets jammed in their throats.. ugh Simplyraven22406

    yep ive heard that too.. but you'd be surprised at what ive seen parents allow there youngster to play with to pacify them.. i think one of the worst would be a bottle cap ... and when they werent looking i through it away.. i just couldnt bare to witness this.. and this was with more that one person.. mrs_wainright

    I don't want to sound mean but anything a child can get in there mouth is a choking hazard. :( I've learned That the hard way :(

    I swallowed a quarter when I was little, so I imagine pocket change also makes the list.

    I was always giving my toddler cheerios and other snacks in the car until he choked one day while I was driving! It was traumatic for us both!

    Depends on the age and how well they eat..my son ate of all of those@ a young age and was fine..what he did choke on are noodles ...but yes pretty much anything tiny tiny a child can choke on..i still cut up the hot dog cus i think its easier to eat and it more taste better to him then a whole dog..
    Also he would choke on food if he shoved it n his mouth ..ani would have to pull it out of his throat
