Road Safety Week is always a great time to share this reminder about your child's roadside visibility in these darker winter months.

This image shows the difference in visibility between a child wearing a dark coat (bottom image) and the same child wearing a bright coat (top image), waiting to cross a road in the evening light.

If your child wears a dark winter coat, bear in mind that car drivers may not see them as clearly if they were to step out onto the road.

Of course, the main focus needs to be on driver awareness and reducing car speed, particularly around schools, but it doesn't hurt to think about small changes we can make that can perhaps add extra protection for our children, such as buying bright clothing!

Please share for awareness 💚

How to ensure your baby is safe in their car seat this winter👇🏻

🚗 Do not strap your child in while they are wearing a bulky coat or sleepsuit - the material of the coat and any air trapped in it will mean that the straps are not tight enough against the baby’s body to stop them being shifted around in an accident.

🚗 Do the “pinch test” - pull the harness straps to a snug tightness which means if you try to pinch the harness horizontally you cannot pinch the material together.

🚗 Make sure the car seat harness straps are not twisted, this may distribute the weight incorrectly and cause injury.

🚗 If your child is in a rear-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or below your child’s shoulders.

🚗 If your child is in a forward-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or above your child’s shoulders.

For lots more advice about the law around car seats and what type of seat is right for your child’s age/weight, please take a listen to episode 24 ofthe Family Health Podcast episode in which we chat with an expert from Graco UK about car seat safety 🎧 We’ll link to this in the comments.

Are your child's Christmas gifts dangerous?

Mums and dads, you are probably already starting to think about, or pick up, Christmas presents and stocking fillers for your child, so this is your friendly reminder to think about potential choking and other hazards that may be present in your child's presents!

🎁 Button batteries - these little silver disc batteries are found in lots of toys and other gadgets around your house and are highly toxic. If swallowed, they can corrode your child's throat or stomach.

🎁 Lego and other small building bricks - these are not only painful to step on, but some pieces are small enough for a baby or child to swallow, and sharp edges make them easy to get stuck in a child's windpipe.

🎁 Magnet toys - these popular toys are small and easy to swallow. They can travel to the stomach and gather together, tearing internal tissue.

🎁 Balloons - balloons and other latex items are a choking hazard if swallowed or inhaled, which can happen easily if your child is blowing a balloon or playing with burst leftover material.

🎁 Buttons & detachable parts - toys or dolls with small parts like button eyes and wheels can be dangerous as items like this can fall off or be pulled off and swallowed.

🎁 Marbles - in the same way that grapes and round foods are a hazard, so are marbles that can easily lodge in your child's airway.

This list is by no means exhaustive. We don't want to be the toy/fun police, but please take a few minutes when choosing toys or gifts for your child to think about potential risks and don't leave your child to play with a new toy on their own - check it out yourself before you hand it to your child to play with.
