Silicone Toy Tires

In the ever-evolving toy industry, safety and sustainability have become top priorities for manufacturers and consumers alike. As a supplier of custom silicone tires for children’s toys, we work closely with toy factories that are upgrading their products to meet international child safety and environmental standards.

Silicone, a flexible, durable, and non-toxic material, is quickly becoming the preferred choice for toy components—especially in wheels and tires for children's ride-on toys, pull-along toys, educational vehicles, and more. This article explores why silicone is ideal for customized toy tires, how it supports compliance with global regulations, and what makes it a standout material in the children’s product category.

Unlike traditional rubber or plastic, silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer that is safe for children, environmentally friendly, and offers excellent mechanical properties. These advantages make it ideal for toy parts that need to be both resilient and non-toxic.

Non-toxic and BPA-free: Silicone is free from harmful chemicals such as phthalates, lead, and BPA, making it safe even if a child puts the product in their mouth.

Soft yet durable: Silicone tires provide a smooth, quiet ride and reduce noise on hard surfaces, which is ideal for indoor play.

Odorless and hypoallergenic: It won’t emit unpleasant smells or trigger allergies.

Flexible and wear-resistant: Withstands rough play and resists deformation over time.

High-temperature resistance: Safe in a wide range of temperatures—won’t melt, harden, or emit toxins.

Eco-friendly and recyclable: Silicone can be recycled and reused, contributing to sustainable toy production.

Customized silicone toy tires are used in a variety of children’s toy products, including:

Ride-on vehicles: Bikes, scooters, rocking horses, and toy cars

Push and pull toys: Animal-shaped pull toys, wagons, carts

Educational toys: STEM learning kits, toy robots, movable parts

Plush toys with wheels: Soft toys designed to roll and move

Montessori and sensory toys: Toys designed to stimulate touch and motor skills

As a custom silicone manufacturer, we tailor the hardness, size, tread pattern, and color of the tires to match the unique requirements of toy factory clients—ensuring both functionality and safety.

Modern toy brands aim to meet strict regulatory standards to enter international markets, including:

EN71 (Europe): Specifies safety requirements for mechanical, physical, flammability, and chemical properties of toys.

ASTM F963 (USA): Covers chemical composition, labeling, and performance safety of toys in the U.S. market.

CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act): Ensures materials used in children's products are lead- and phthalate-free.

REACH & RoHS compliance: Addresses hazardous substances in materials used for EU markets.

Silicone rubber naturally meets many of these requirements and can be formulated to comply with additional certifications. That’s why it is quickly replacing traditional PVC or TPR materials, which often contain plasticizers or chemical residues.

In a competitive global market, toy factories and OEM brands are under pressure to design products that are not only innovative, but also compliant and market-ready. Silicone offers a versatile solution:

✓ Custom moldability – Easily molded into various shapes and designs

✓ Consistent quality – Resistant to cracking, tearing, and weathering

✓ Safe for all ages – Particularly suitable for infant and toddler toys

✓ Color customization – Food-grade color pigments make it fun and appealing to kids
