Playgrounds : 

Playgrounds Each year, more than 200,000 kids are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for playground associated injuries. Most of the more than 200,000 injuries occur when a child falls from the equipment. There should be a 12-inch depth of wood chips, mulch, sand, or pea gravel, or mats made of safety-tested rubber or fiber material on the surface of the playground .

Bike Helmets : 

Bike Helmets Make sure your kids always wear their helmets. All bike helmets manufactured or sold in the U.S. are required to meet federal safety standards. Helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent. There is one exception: Kids shouldn't wear bike helmets when playing -- especially on playground equipment Tips from www.GuardianAngelBracelet.com

Backpacks : 

Backpacks Textbooks, notebooks, lunch, toys... how much weight is your child toting back and forth each day? Take the load off your child… Kids shouldn't carry more than 10 to 15 percent of their weight over their shoulders and on their backs. They may stretch or strain their muscles, cause direct injury to the spine, and, frankly, get exhaust themselves. Tips from www.GuardianAngelBracelet.com

Soccer : 

Soccer Many people don't associate soccer with injury. One source of trouble is the soccer goal. To prevent soccer goals from tipping over, make sure they're anchored into the ground. You can use: auger-style anchors that screw into the ground; semi-permanent anchors, which require a permanently secured base that is buried underground combined with the use of tethers or bolts to secure the goal; peg, stake, or j-hook style anchors that are driven into the ground; or sandbags or counterweights if the goals are indoors.

Jacket & Sweatshirt Drawstrings : 

Jacket & Sweatshirt Drawstrings Drawstrings may look trendy, but they can get caught on a lot of things we don’t think about, including elevators, playground equipment, and cribs. Remove drawstrings on hoods or around the neck of clothing. If drawstrings at the waist or bottom of an article of clothing are looking a too long, trim them down to no longer than three inches.

Window Blind Cords : 

Window Blind Cords Look at the blinds in your house, at your child's daycare or their school. You or the teacher should cut the loop on two-corded horizontal blinds and attach separate tassels to keep kids from getting entangled in the cords. Vertical blinds, continuous loop systems, and drapery cords use looped cords to function. Do not cut these loops. Instead, install a permanent tie-down device.
