For Carrie Peterson, it's not the cavities from all the candy on Halloween that worries her most. Carrie Peterson says, "Getting hit by cars."
On average, twice as many child pedestrians are killed on Halloween compared to any other day of the year. Sydney Maday says many parents purchase costumes that are easy to see in the dark. Maday says, "Sometimes like the skeletons or the firefighter ones will have reflectors, which helps a lot, and it still looks cool so the kids aren't embarrassed to go out and make sure that its not very dark colored."
If your kids costume doesn't glow in the dark or reflect you can always buy them a trick or treat bag that does. 11-year-old Ben Weir says, "You should have a light so cars can see you."

Hodapp says, "we have to caution drivers to be especially ware of pedestrians, children darting in and out of parked cars or seeing the unexpected."
But most agree the number one thing parents can do to protect their little pumpkins is tag along as they trick or treat.
