2-year-old child simit/pretzel bagel?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Simit (hard, salty, sesame-covered ring bread) is not an appropriate choice for age 2. Due to its hard texture and large, round shape, simit carries a choking risk in a 2-year-old. It's also high in sodium, which is not recommended for young children.
Instead, you can offer a safer version of the same appealing texture and experience: homemade mini simit — shape soft bread dough into small rings, sprinkle sesame on top, and bake. Or use ready-made baby/toddler simit (the kind sold in the baby section, unsweetened and unsalted, soft-crumbling type).
For safety: offer either option while the child is sitting, always have water nearby, and monitor bite size.
