How to buy toys online

Click on a Related Site, enter the word "toys" in a search engine such as Yahoo or Alta Vista, or click the box for "toys" in the shopping list below and choose the "shop online" function.

Browse sites by toy category (dolls, models, etc.) or by other listed options such as "most popular toys." If you know the exact toy you want, do a search of the toy site for the item.

Take advantage of the feature, offered on many sites, that enables you to select toys appropriate for different age groups - "infants," "preschool," and so forth.

Before you order, thoroughly read all information on the site regarding shipping costs and methods, sales tax, warranties and guarantees, and return policies.

Add up all the charges and compare the total cost to the retail price at your nearest retail toy store.

Look for evidence that the site is secure, if you decide to buy online.

Choose the items you wish to buy by clicking to add them to your online shopping cart. When you're finished shopping, proceed to the checkout.
