When it comes to children’s product design fails, however, there’s another group that like to get in on the critiques - parents. Children are a highly vulnerable segment of society, so a poorly designed product or package has the potential to drive a child to accidentally harm themselves.

Product and packaging design for children is practically an entire discipline unto itself. For one thing, a single product and package has to appeal to two very different people - a child and their parent. The package and product have to promise to be fun while also convincing the parent that the product in question is safe, high-quality, entertaining, and, if applicable, developmentally helpful.

Package design for kids also has its own set of trends and visual principles. Things like minimalism and eco-packaging may be trending for adults, but children want something else entirely. Bright colors, zig-zags, and big pictures continue to dominate children’s packaging – because they work.

Of course, as we can see from the crazy design fails in this list, another key concern is clarity of purpose. Too many of the products on this list fail in this key aspect. Inedible or even toxic materials scented as food shouldn’t be making it into children’s hands - moreso if the products are also food-shaped.

I’d almost say it was installed upside down, because what’s as bottom looks like a level staring place. But there are “rails” up to to keep kids from falling off up there, and to push off from, so that appears to actually be the top. My only guess is that this was f****d up in the factory—-made either on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning, as the old joke goes—-and sent out for sale, when Quality Control should’ve flagged it as flawed, and had it melted down and started over.
