Dressing your Kids In No-Risk Clothes
By OSAblogger on Nov 21, 2009 in Teen Guidelines
The clothes a child wears can be dangerous during their early years. Buttons and poppers can get swallowed if they become loose. in extreme conditions, clothes should be worn that match the right temperature. You also need to check to see if a child has the right footwear on for the activity they are performing. Different countries have different laws about child clothing safety.
Childrens hoodies have been banned in the US if they have a drawstring attached. The child can get strangled if the string gets caught in something. There have been penalties against companies who sell hoodies with drawstrings in.
Prosecutions have been made against Kohl’s store, Maran and K.S Trading and hill Sportswear. The latter was heavily fined after a child died as a result of getting the drawstring in one of their hoodies caught in some playground equipment.
Childrens hoodies are a staple item in a wardrobe but you just need to purchase one with no drawstring.
If a child has the wrong footwear on for a particular activity it can be dangerous. To make sure your child does not fall whilst climbing, boots should be worn. Shoes with grips should be used on slippery surfaces.
When sleeping a child also needs to wear the right clothes. Material which is baggy enough to ride up can suffocate very young children. To prevent this, tight clothes should be worn that cannot ride up as the child moves in the night. But make sure the wrists and neck are not constricted.
Appropriate clothes should be worn in very hot or cold temperatures. Hats should be worn in the sun with light coloured clothes to reflect the heat. They should wear lots of layers in the cold and keep their hands and head covered.
Childrens clothing needs to be safe and if you follow this advice it will be, keep them out of harm’s way.
