There are a few simple things that can be done to keep a children safe. Plastic bags carry warnings in the UK about keeping them from children, and you should know that even quite old children – seven or eight years old, may put bags over their heads or faces as a game. I once found one of mine trying to turn one into a rain hat. With empty bags, putting a knot in them before you store them is a good way of making them safer, but thinks before leaving full carrier bags around too. Babies go through a phase of wanting to take things out of bags, and if you leave stuff around in carriers, there’s a danger that they will be able to turn it all out.
