Safety

From the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Halloween safety tips:

  • Pick bright, reflective costumes, or add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags.
  • Make sure costumes and shoes fit, and look for “flame resistant” on labels.
  • Skip long or sharp swords and canes.
  • Older children should go in a group, agree on a route and a time to be home, and carry a flashlight.
  • Cross as a group at crosswalks; avoid crossing mid-block.
