Tips to protect children in cold weather

With temperatures expected to dip into the single digits this week, it’s a dangerous time for the state’s most vulnerable residents — including young children. To help protect your family’s smallest members, here are some tips from Fairfield-based Save The Children. Layer up! Bitter cold and snow can cause frostbite. Dress children in several layers, and make sure their head, neck and hands are covered. Dress babies and young children in one more layer than an adult would wear. Play it safe. Even when roads are closed to traffic, it’s not safe to play or sled in the street. Visibility may be limited due to snow banks and ice on the roads makes braking difficult.
