Other Safety Items

  • Sunglasses for tots
  • Choke prevention tubes-measures the size of toys to ensure they are large enough for a child to use to prevent risk of choking
  • Helping Hands-these are two magnets with the picture of a child's hands on them.  Magnets are placed on a car and young children are told to always place their hands there when in a parking lot. 

Education Displays
In the month of May we feature Child Safety Month. Throughout the year you can come into our store and pick up brochures on a variety of safety topics.
