I mainly get all my toys from toys r us. (that is cp toys!)
I assume it is the babies who own (or possess) the toys, so the plural would be: babies' toys. In other words, the toys don't own anything or possess anything; the toys belong to the babies. You only use the apostrophe when showing whose toys you are talking about. So, for example: the baby's toys (only one baby, with a bunch of toys); the babies' toys (more than one baby with a bunch of toys).Or, if you are referring to something of the toys of babies; for example the babies' toys' price or the babies' toys' department. Both the toys and the babies must show possession (the toys of the babies, the price of the toys).
toys, toys and more toys!! :)
