Under 3

Under 3 (U3) is a special prize that fast food restaurants that customers can request instead of the regular toy in kids meals. An under 3 toy is usually a ball, a plush toy, or a figurine without any small parts that may pose a choking hazard. In some cases restaurants gave away books instead of toys for the "under 3" prize.

The first restaurant to give away under 3 prizes upon customer request was McDonald's in 1982 after a recall on the Playmobil Happy Meal toys due to the toys having small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Prior to that McDonald's gave customers an option to swap the Happy Meal prize with a soft serve ice cream cone (kiddie size).
