Children should be seen and not hurt. Therefore, dress a child with safety in mind. Check for trims that are sewn securely to the garment to prevent accidents. Pants and jeans are less likely to catch on playthings, such as bike pedals, if the legs are hemmed instead of cuffed. Consider light and brightly colored outer gar* ments that are easier for drivers to see on dark days. Conversely, look for a raincoat and snowsuit with a separate hood or hat so that a child’s vision is not obstructed.

As a child’s dexterity increases, select clothes with self-help features. Examples include big buttons, front zippers, elastic waistbands and suspenders. In addition, a child should be able to distinguish easily between the fronts and backs of garments.

A child, when old enough, should be involved as much as possible in planning shopping trips for clothes and the actual selections. Also teaching a youngster how to care for new clothes will pay off later as a child increasingly assumes responsibility for a wardrobe and its care.
