Abstract
Always use child passenger seats and seat belts when in a car. Use them properly!! Make sure everyone is buckled up before starting the car. Properly install smoke detectors in your home. Keep them working!! Always have your child wear a bike helmet when riding a bicycle. (You, too!) Keep all guns unloaded, locked up, and out of the reach of children. Keep guns and ammunition (bullets) stored separately. Keep poisonous substances (chemicals, medications, cosmetics) out of the reach of children and locked away. Turn your hot water temperature down. Keep small objects out of the reach of young children. Infants and toddlers love to put things into their mouths. Objects such as safety pins, coins, small toy parts, deflated rubber balloons, jewelry, and even foods like grapes, raisins, hot dogs, popcorn, and hard candies can choke a child. Install window guards on your home's windows. Wear protective gear when playing sports, roller blading, or skating.
