I eat half the candy as I am checking it, but at least it gets checked.
It’s a sad commentary on people when we have to check our children’s candy to make sure they aren’t eating poison or a razor blade. That is just horrible. Thank you for sharing these tips.
Great tips! My mother in law just bought all the kids some flashlights for Halloween. I always go with my girls trick or treating since they’re to young to be out on their own. I know these flashlights are really going to help them too.
These are really great tips that we try to adhere to when taking our daughter out trick-or-treating. She is so excited!
So many great safety tips in here. Comfy shoes is a must. A few years ago we wore new shoes and it was a nightmare.
These are all awesome tips! I always have some kind of glow stick on them or reflector tape. I am obsessive about it.
I inspect ALL candy, mainly for my own benefit, but it’s a good safety practice as well. We’ve luckily, never had any issues on Halloween.
Excellent tips for a safe Halloween! I agree though besides checking the candy for tampering I check for the good ones for mommy to put up lol.
We don’t live in a location where trick-or-treating house to house is possible, so we always go to the mall to collect candy. My biggest thing when doing this is keeping my son in my sight. It’s so easy when there’s a big crowd at the mall, for him to get lost or wander away.
So sad that safety is a big concern at Halloween. But with your tips I think parents with young kids can maximize the chances of their children having a safe and happy holiday this year.
Halloween is definitely a holiday where safety needs to be addressed. All of your tips are great – especially the last one about checking our kids candy. You can never be too careful!
Great tips. We actually only go for about 20 min… then come back to hand out candy. We actually have more fun doing a haunt and handing out, then collecting candy. These are great tips… Halloween can be a scary time with kids running all over in the dark
These are great tips. We put flashing lights on the kids to make them easier to see.
Checking your child’s candy is very important. You can’t trust all of the candy handed out, and it’s better safe than sorry.
It is so important to remember to be careful with kids candy. It really is sad that there are people who try to ruin such a fun holiday.
Bring a flash light is another great tip. Also, gauge the child. Bigger kids can go longer, the little kids may need to be dropped off.
We haven’t done any serious trick or treating with our girls yet but these are some great tips!
Halloween seems like a lot of fun, but being out in the dark can still be dangerous! You have to take steps to be careful!
These are really great tips to remember, thanks for sharing them! We always check all of the candy my grandsons get. You can never be too careful!
These are great tips! It is so important to stay well-lit with so many people out that night!
These are great tips. Halloween can be so much fun and safe too!
You thought it out really well. These are great tips, and the comfy shoes is a big one!
Comfy shoes are kind of the most important part of any holiday! 😉 Lots of walking and you never know what kind of hills or roads you will encounter!
