Child Safety First - Toddlers (2-3 years of age)

Written By Brian Williamson

Because your child is moving around more, he will come across more dangers as well. Dangerous situations can happen quickly, so keep a close eye on your child. Here are a few tips to help keep your growing toddler safe:

  • Do NOT leave your toddler near or around water (for example, bathtubs, pools, ponds, lakes, whirlpools, or the ocean) without someone watching her. Fence off backyard pools. Drowning is the leading cause of injury and death among this age group.

  • Encourage your toddler to sit when eating and to chew his food thoroughly to prevent choking.

  • Check toys often for loose or broken parts.

  • Encourage your toddler not to put pencils or crayons in her mouth when coloring or drawing.

  • Do NOT hold hot drinks while your child is sitting on your lap. Sudden movements can cause a spill and might result in your child’s being burned.

  • Make sure that your child sits in the back seat and is buckled up properly in a car seat with a harness.
