As the temps drop, skip the puffy coats when harnessing your children in their car seats. Harnesses work best when snug against your child — use blankets or jackets after they’re buckled for cozy comfort and safety.

🎃 Happy Halloween👻

A few quick tips to keep your kids safe tonight:
🕸️ See and be seen: Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes and treat bags.
🍬 Check the treats: Look over all candy before letting kids dig in.
🚸 Stay together: Young children should always trick-or-treat with an adult or in a group.
🧙‍♀️ Costume comfort: Make sure costumes fit well and don’t drag to prevent trips and falls.
Have a safe, spooky, and sweet Halloween! 🎃🩺

🚗💀 The real fright? Turning your child forward too early. Rear-facing offers the best protection for their growing spine and neck 💪
🎃Remember: Keep them that way until they reach the maximum weight or height limit of their car seat… typically around 40lbs or 40in. Check your car seat’s limits and keep them turned the safe way

🥜 Reminder for parents of little ones! If your baby is starting solids, don’t forget to feed peanuts early…and often (as long as it’s safe for your child).

Following this simple advice has already helped prevent 60,000 peanut allergies in children across the U.S.! 👏

We’ve been recommending this for years, and the results are clear: early and regular peanut exposure works. Just be sure to use baby-safe forms like smooth peanut butter thinned with water or mixed into purees (never whole peanuts).

Questions about how to start? We’re always here to guide you.

A new study in the medical journal Pediatrics found that peanut allergies in children ages 0 to 3 declined by more than 27% after guidance was first issued, and by more than 40% after it was expanded in 2017.
