If you have kids, you know that Halloween is a big deal.
"You mean I get to dress up and go around asking people for
treats? Best. Holiday. Ever!"
But how can you ensure that this night will be spooky fun and
not one you'll be spending in the emergency room if your little
ones suffer frightening injuries? In this second part of our
Halloween Safety Blog series, I offer tips for keeping your
children safe when they're out trick or treating.
See, Breathe, and Don't Go Up In Flames
Good costumes should be scary or cute – but most
importantly they should be safe! Avoid masks or other face
coverings that obscure sight lines or make breathing difficult, and
always ensure costume materials are flame retardant. With our
unpredictable Canadian weather, you should also make sure the
costume can accommodate heavier coats, glove and hats.
