County. Michael-Bennett suggests these safety tips to help make sure the whole family has an enjoyable holiday season: Travel-do not forget such basic items as syrup of Ipecac and prescribed medicines. Many homes and hotel rooms are not child-proofed. Be sure to pack necessary items, such as electrical outlet covers and gates. Use infant carseats, do not substitute an infant carrier. When using the carseat outside the car, keep an eye on infants who can tip over the seat and hurt themselves. If traveling on an airplane, check with airlines to see if carseats meet regula tions. As in a car, it is difficult to hold a baby safely in an air plane. If possible, keep your baby strapped into a carseat that is belted in the airplane seat.

Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for students high school age and younger. Family tour nament passes will be available for $15. keep a close eye on your child ren. During the holidays, park ing lots and stores are busier and more crowded. Strap young children into shopping carts and keep the cart next to you. Do not let your children grab dangerous or heavy items off shelves or pick them from the shopping cart or off the floor. Try to shop without the children when possible. Gifts-be sure that gifts for children are appropriate for their age. Do not expect them to grow into a toy that is in tended for an older child. If your five-year-old still puts everything in his mouth, follow the guidelines for three-year- olds in terms of toy purchases. Read the information about art supplies and follow the manu facturer's guidelines. House hold batteries should be install ed by adults. Preventions-keep children away from lighted candles and candles away from dry boughs and tables that tip. Be sure children stay away from fires in the fireplace and keep fires screened. Be aware of hot stoves and ovens. Keep pan handles turned away from the front of the stove to avoid hot spills. Poisonous plants and other decorations-mistletoe, holly berries, poinsettias and other holiday plants are poisonous. Keep the poison control phone number and syrup of Ipecac at hand. Watch children around decorations, ribbon, plastic bags, aluminum wrapping paper and so on. Adult precautions-avoid ex cessive alcohol use and get enough sleep so you can drive and care for children safely. One holiday hazard is thinking there are so many adults around that someone else is watching the children. Be sure someone always takes respon sibility for each child at a par ticular time.
