Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Halloween night is an exciting time for kids, but it can also be a dangerous one. With so much activity going on, children can easily be hurt during their trick-or-treating activities. To prevent your child from ending up with an injury, follow these Halloween safety tips from CostumeHub.com (http://www.costumehub.com).

Choose bright costume colors – Motorists are much more likely to see a trick-or-treater dressed in lighter colors. However, if your child does have a dark costume, you can increase their visibility by trimming it with reflective material or by attaching a safety light.
Hem it up – Costume pants, dresses and robes that are too long can cause trips and falls. Be sure that all costumes are short enough that they do not impede movement.
Makeup instead of masks – Masks can reduce your child’s peripheral vision and can impair hearing. Costume makeup is a better choice for trick-or-treating as it allows your child to see and hear everything they need to before crossing the street.
Carry a flashlight – Unseen cracks in the sidewalk or steep steps can lead to trips and falls, especially for young trick-or-treaters. Always be sure your child has a flashlight with fresh batteries before heading out.
Comfortable footwear – No matter how well they go with the costume, high heels and sandals can lead to a lot of trips, falls and twisted ankles. Your child should always trick-or-treat in comfortable footwear that they are used to wearing.
Dress for the weather – Your little one may not like having to wear a jacket over her princess dress, so be sure to take weather into account when picking a costume. The same goes for thick robes or other full-coverage costumes in areas that experience very warm weather on Halloween.

Be prepared this Halloween to ensure that your kids enjoy a fun and safe Halloween. CostumeHub.com is fully stocked with all of the above items to help them trick-or-treat safely.
