-Plan a safe route by choosing well-lit streets and familiar neighborhoods.
-Ensure costumes do not obstruct vision to prevent falls and other accidents.
-Stay visible by keeping a flashlight handy, or consider incorporating glowsticks into costumes.
-Inspect candy before it’s eaten. Discard unwrapped or suspicious items.
-Remain seated during hayrides,Ìýuntil the trailer has come to a complete stop.
