Bath chairs and rings are not safety devices and can tip over quite easily. Using these safety measures in your home will help protect your grandchild from serious injury. You can then be sure that, if your attention is diverted, you have reduced the ordinary household dangers facing your curious little explorers. Each year, many children are injured or killed when they suddenly dart into the path of a car. Most preschoolers are injured near their home or on their own street.
Most crashes involving preschoolers happen in fair and warm weather.
Twice as many preschool boys are injured than preschool girls. Putting your grandchild on a school bus for the first time is often a major milestone. Never try to pick it up. The driver may not see you and begin to drive away.
