Choosing a safe Halloween costume
1. If you make your child's costume, be sure to use fire-retardant materials.
2. When picking out costumes, try to avoid ones that restrict eyesight or your child's movement. If you plan on trick-or-treating outdoors, be sure the costume is appropriate for your state's climate. Whenever possible, try to avoid costumes with masks, which limit your child's field of vision.
Other Halloween safety tips
1. Use battery powered lights in jack-a-lanterns. Avoid open flames.
2. Most of all, as a motorist use extreme caution on Halloween. Enter all driveways and alleys carefully, and drive very slowly around neighborhoods. Expect children to dart out into the street.
