Accidents are a leading cause of injuries and death in toddlers. Toddlers are curious about medications and may swallow them if allowed. They may asphyxiate themselves if allowed to play with plastic bags. Approved car seats will keep them safe in case of a motor vehicle accident. Swinging by extremities may cause dislocation of joints. Toddlers should not be allowed access to small-sized foods, such as grapes, olives, or carrot rounds. Small, hard foods should never be allowed.
