Guidelines for Safe Play at Playgrounds or Play Centers!

Afternoons and weekends, now that school has started, are a wonderful excuse for play and laughter. That’s one side of the truth. The other side is that parents often don’t know how to spend quality time with their kids during these times, so a trip to the playground or play center often becomes the go-to solution. There, children can play, unwind, and enjoy their time outside of school!

As a result, both kids and parents can enjoy a couple of hours at the playground or play center whenever they have the chance.

What are the rules for safe play in these spaces?

Here are the 7 basic rules I’ve gathered to share with you:

The 7 Basic Rules for Safe Play at the Playground

1. Always choose play equipment designed for your child’s age. Even a simple slide can be dangerous for younger children.
2. Parents must remain vigilant every single second—no scrolling through Instagram feeds while your children play.
3. Never take your child to play right after eating, as intense activity could even lead to vomiting.
4. Remove objects from their pockets, hands, or hair that could cause injuries. Also, take off their glasses unless they have special unbreakable children's lenses.
5. Always have your child wear athletic shoes and high socks. Flip-flops or non-athletic shoes can cause injuries.

6. At play centers, children must wear socks for hygiene reasons, so bring an extra pair just in case!

7. For activities requiring a helmet, ensure your child wears it, along with any necessary safety straps.

What to Bring Along to the Playground or Play Center

Always carry a bag with the essentials. Here’s what you’ll definitely need:

• A snack box with solid food, such as crackers, and a water bottle filled with cool water.

  

• A change of clothes and two Babylino Sensitive Pants diapers. Always opt for athletic, comfortable cotton clothing and Babylino Sensitive Cotton Soft Pants. With their innovative "all-around elastic" technology, they provide 360o elasticity around the waist and legs, ensuring secure fit. These Pants stay secure without sagging, offering great flexibility even during activities like jumping on a trampoline!
   

• Antibacterial wipes and baby wipes. Trust me, you’ll need them—often multiple times! Choose BabyCare Pure Care System Chamomile wipes, containing over 96% pure water and organic chamomile extract. They gently cleanse and protect your child’s skin from irritations and rashes. For their hands, which get incredibly dirty, I recommend Wet Hankies antibacterial wipes. They offer antibacterial protection and are effective against viruses like H1N1 and H3N2. Sometimes, one pack just isn’t enough!
   

  

• Your good mood! It might not fit in a bag, but when visiting a playground or play center, set aside your stress, worries, and maybe even pending emails. You’re with your child, and it’s a unique opportunity to relive your childhood together!
  
  Enjoy Your Time!
  
  Have fun, play safely, and share plenty of loud, hearty laughs!

  With all my love,
