The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Organizing your toy cabinet is important for both baby's safety and development. Basic principles:

Safety: The cabinet must be anchored so it won't tip over onto baby. Doors should have finger-pinch-prevention soft-close mechanisms. Small parts, batteries, and cords belong on upper shelves out of baby's reach.

Access: Once baby starts crawling or walking, stock the bottom 1-2 shelves with age-appropriate, easy-to-reach toys. Upper shelves hold parent-controlled toys.

Rotation: Keep 4–5 toys out, store the rest — swap every two weeks. This keeps toys feeling "new," refreshes baby's interest, and prevents overstimulation.

Age-appropriate: Lower shelves get sensory and gross motor toys (stacking cups, large puzzles, push toys); upper shelves hold more complex toys requiring fine motor skills (bead-threading, building blocks).

In short: safe, accessible, and rotating storage keeps babies independently exploring and focused on play.
