Halloween Safety Tips: Costume 101

It's that time of year again fans- Halloween! While Halloween is a time to dress up and eat tons of candy, it can also be a time where parents relax the rules. While letting your kids dress up in costumes may seem harmless, there are a few rules to keep in mind for the little ones to prevent injury.

• Make sure the costume fits correctly. If the costume is to long or large it could cause your child to trip and fall.
• Try to decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers to improve the childs viability to passerby.  
• If you child insists on wearing a face make-up or paint, make sure it's non-toxic and will not cause an allergic reaction. 
• Make sure your child has a flashlight or glow-stick to make them more visible to drivers while walking the neighborhood streets. 

If you follow these steps you should reduce your child's risk of injury for a fun and uneventful Halloween night.
