Keep your children visible - Wearing something bright or fluorescent during the day and something reflective at dusk and in the dark.
Car seats - In order to work properly, car seats straps must be snug. Make sure your baby / child isn’t wearing clothing that’s too bulky and don’t put blankets between the straps.
Buy a carbon monoxide alarm - When the weather is colder you’re going need the heating on and this can cause a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and so buying a carbon monoxide alarm can help keep your family safe.
Prevent overheating indoors - Resist the urge to overbundle your baby or keep the nursery too warm. The perfect temperature is between 16 to 20oC.
Tobogganing in the snow - Choose a slope that’s not too steep and not close to a road, pond, line of trees or wall. Only let children sledge individually when they know how to stop. Consider a helmet - ideally a ski helmet, but a bike helmet is better than nothing.
