Tips For choosing a Halloween costume
With October almost upon us and Halloween only a few weeks away; parents are soon to be flooding the stores looking for the perfect Halloween costume for their children if they haven’t already. Although it’s fun to dress children up as their favorite characters, when choosing, it’s important to not only consider the aesthetic appeal, but also child safety.
1. Consider fire safety. When choosing a child’s costume and accessories, specifically look for the words “flame resistant” on them. Also, beware of costumes made from flimsy material or with loose fitting arms, legs, and skirts to avoid a costume accidentally catching fire near a flame.
2. Choose light colors. Although Halloween has a dark and spooky vibe, resist the urge to buy dark colors. Instead, choose colors that are light and can easily be seen by motorists.
3. Use reflective tape. This makes the child even more visible and therefore safer. Put it anywhere on the child’s costume and/or treat bag that it will fit. This can be bought in most hardware, bicycle, sporting goods, and mass merchandise stores.
4. Carry a flashlight. This makes it easier for children to see and also to be seen. Most mass merchandise and party stores stores now carry inexpensive Halloween-themed flashlights designed specifically for this purpose as an incentive to make using a flashlight more fun for kids.
