Halloween is just a week away and it’s time not just to plan costumes and decoration but also to prep your teens and kids for a safe and fun night. Drivers not seeing trick-or-treaters is the number one halloween safety concern that should be on every adult’s mind this week. It is not too late to order funflector reflectors, ultra-bright Halloween reflectors that are fun and stylish. The Ninja and Ninja star safety reflectors are sailing up as our best sellers this year! From now to Halloween, we’ll promise to get any orders out our door within 24 hours.
4 Steps to Halloween Safety
Twice as many kids get killed on our roads on Halloween compared to any other night of the year. Here are 4 easy steps you can take to significantly lower the risks. Go to our post from last year if you want to dig deeper.
1. Use reflectors. At least two (front and back or left and right) but there can never be too many!
2. Follow Traffic Rules. You should know them, if not: study!
3. Talk Traffic Safety with Your Kids – start BEFORE Halloween, or even better, discuss traffic safety with your kids year-around.
4. Remind Drivers, particularly young drivers, on the importance to putting away distractions while driving.
So how about the flash light, tainted candy, ration the kid’s candy, inspecting candy and more? In our opinion, they are well meant, but draws attention from the real danger! Flash lights are good for seeing where you put your feet, but does not give as good surround visibility as a couple of reflectors. Good quality safety reflectors are a very effective solution.
The scary part of Halloween should not take place in the emergency room so it’s better to be seen than sorry!
