Even vitamins can be toxic in large amounts. Kids don't know the difference between vitamins and candy. Keep them out of sight and reach.#poisonprevention

Got a bike or scooter for Christmas? Make sure to pick up a helmet and other protective gear.
A family on a bike ride. They are being chased by a suspiciously large glowing green rabbit about the size of an elephant. There is no explanation for the rabbit's size. The son, the lead biker, shouts, "Why is this happening to me?!" His dad, bringing up the rear, shouts back, "Less talking, more pedaling, son!" The text reads: Always wear a helmet when escaping from Suspiciously Large Rabbits on your bike.

Too much bulk in a coat can create extra room in a car seat harness. Thinner layers provide the same warmth, and the harness will still fit snugly. #TheRightSeat

Some summer days are too hot, which means more play time inside. Check out the poster below from @HRSAgov & remember to keep potential poisons up, away, and out of children’s sight! #preventpoison #poisonhelp

A car can reach lethal temperatures in as little as 10 min. Record number of children have died of vehicular heatstroke, 53% from forgetting a child in a car. Don’t forget to #ParkLookLock ☀️Tip: Place your phone & work materials in the backseat with your child.

The AAP advises that the safest home for a child is one without guns. However, by keeping the “safe” in firearm safety and using a gun safe, the risk of a child getting hurt is lower. #saferstorage #firearmsafety
