With so many lanterns likely to be lit up in neighborhood houses, costumes with hanging laces are more prone to fire hazard.
Costume color: It is good for kids to wear arresting or light colored costumes. Dark costumes can make them indiscernible at night. This opens up the possibility of street accidents. In case you have bought dark costumes, attach glow sticks, or, reflective ribbons to feature their proximity in the dark.
Costume material: Kids often get completely absorbed while viewing the haunting Halloween decorations or trick-or-treating. Their costumes can catch fire. So, It is good to use costumes made of fire-retardant materials.
