3. Bring water and snacks
Baby might get fussy seeing his older brothers and sisters getting all the candy and not being able to have any for himself. Calm him down by packing his favorite snacks so he gets to have some treats too!
4. Bring a flashlight or glow sticks
It gets dark out quickly and many children are afraid of the dark, so bring flashlights to light up your way. You can also have kids carry glow sticks or put reflective tape on their costumes for safety.
5. Don’t go to houses with scary decorations
Many people go all out with their Halloween decorations and turn their houses and yards into haunted houses. Be careful around these houses or avoid them altogether or you might end up having something pop out at you and scare little ones so they’ll be in tears the entire night.
6. Pack baby wipes
Everyone knows that Halloween candy and treats are sticky and you don’t want to deal with messy, sticky kids the whole night so bring some wet baby wipes so you can wipe their faces or clean up the stroller so you don’t have sticky hands touching everything when you get home.
7. Bring friends and family
Trick-or-treating is a lot more fun when you have a bigger group of people with you. Plus, it helps to have some extra sets of eyes looking after the kids with you. You can also invite a neighbor with similarly aged kids to join you so you can help each other and have another adult’s company so you can also enjoy the night.
