Halloween is this weekend🧡 As you and your kiddos prepare for a night of costumes, candy, and fun here are a few Halloween safety tips to help ensure your child`s safety.
Did you know? On average, children are more than twice as likely to be struck by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year.
At KidVantage, we want to make sure our local kids are safe, so here are a few more important safety tips to keep in mind:
1. Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.
2. Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
3. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours.
