Trick-or-treating is a fun time for the family. But it can be dangerous. Here are a few simple steps you can take to stay safe this Halloween.
While kids want their costume to stand out to get plenty of treats, parents need to know all the tricks to keep them safe."These Disney princess costumes are very bright, drivers can certainly see them," said Doug Shupe with AAA. "Also, you would use face paint instead of a mask to allow the children to see."For darker-colored costumes, it's easy to add embellishments.
"These helmets are only meant to withstand the forces of an impact, which would protect the head within that helmet," Shupe said.One of the biggest reminders for kids on Halloween is pedestrian safety. Before trick-or-treating, teach kids to use the crosswalk and never dart out between parked cars. Drivers should watch out for kids in the street at all times. They should also avoid neighborhood streets as shortcuts on Halloween night.
