🎃 Top 10 Halloween Safety Tips for Families in Urban and Apartment Settings 🎃

Choose flame-resistant costumes and avoid long, flowing fabrics that can trip kids up or get caught in doors and escalators.

🦺 Attach reflective patches to costumes and use glow-in-the-dark bags or accessories to make kids visible to drivers and cyclists.

Always trick-or-treat in groups. If your child is old enough to go without an adult, set a route and time to check in.
In buildings, only approach apartments with Halloween decorations. Never enter anyone’s apartment, even if invited

Stick to the sidewalks and avoid jaywalking. Use crosswalks and stay aware of city traffic.

If your building has elevators, teach children how to use them safely and to wait for others before getting off on a floor.

🍬 Inspect all candy and treats for tampering. Avoid homemade items unless from someone you know well.

📱Equip kids with a cell phone or smartwatch for easy communication and location tracking.

Watch out for tripping hazards like wires, pumpkins, and low-hanging decorations in hallways or stairwells.

Stick to well-populated areas, and avoid alleyways or side streets that might be dimly lit or secluded.
