Halloween is right around the corner and with the ease of pandemic regulations, that means the possibility for trick-or-treating and other activities.

Approximately 41 million kids will take to the streets in search of the best candy.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT HALLOWEEN SAFETY

While Halloween is full of fun and excitement, it can also be dangerous.

According to Protect America, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for children ages one through 18. This is largely because of pedestrian accidents, drunk driving accidents, slip and fall accidents, and burn injuries. The most dangerous hour during Halloween activities is 6:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. when the most people are out and about.

70% of parents do not accompany their children when trick-or-treating so it's important to make sure you're talking to your kid about Halloween safety. If you're not trick-or-treating with your kid, make sure you have a way to communicate with them. Walkie talkies are the perfect solutions.

USING WALKIE TALKIES TO STAY CONNECTED

SAFETY

If you make the decision to let your kid head out on their own in the neighborhood, it's important you know they're safe.

Walkie talkies give parents the ability to quickly check in with their trick-or-treaters to make sure they're ok.

This way you can remind them to look both ways when crossing the street, keep their flashlight out, don't talk to strangers, and you can even tell them when it's time to come home.

Most of Midland's walkie talkies also have NOAA Weather Radio or weather scan technology. This will make sure your kid is aware of any severe weather on its way, giving them time to get back inside.

These devices will be sure to give you and your trick-or-treater some peace of

EASY TO USE

Walkie talkies are easy to use, perfect for your kid of any age.

Just make sure to show your kid how to use them before they leave the house. Put your radio on the same channel and just push to talk. Kids will have fun learning to use them and communicating with you back at home base.

In fact, handheld two-way radios are so easy to use, your cellphone will seem inconvenient. You won't have to waste time sending a text message or making a phone call just to ensure your child is staying safe.

RELIABLE

Don't worry about poor cell service with walkie talkies. You'll be able to reach your kids easily with no issues using walkie talkies. Because Midland's walkie talkies are so reliable, you can trust the communication between you and your kids is clear and crisp.

These handheld two-way radios also won't get overwhelmed like cell towers can if the neighborhood is filled with a lot of trick-or-treaters using devices.

When it comes to your kids' safety, don't gamble.
