Toy chests Children can become trapped in toy chests. Any toy chest should be designed and intended for holding toys. Most new toy chests are. If you are buying one, whether new or used, get the type with a spring-loaded lid support that will keep the lid open in any position and will not require adjustment, or you should select one with sliding panels, a lightweight, removable lid, or no lid at all. The chest should have holes or spaces in front, sides or under the lid to provide ventilation.
Bicycles are a major source of childhood injury.
Any child old enough to pedal a bike or ride with you in a bike child seat needs a helmet. For example, some states now require anyone younger than 16 to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Check with your local police about helmet laws in your state. Be sure the two-wheelers you buy properly fit your child or they'll find them difficult to control. The CPSC recommends that children younger than 6 ride a bike only under adult supervision.
