Use caution with lawn mowers to avoid child accidents | Toledo, Ohio child accident lawyers

Summer time is coming soon and people are looking forward to enjoy spending time outside with their children. But our Toledo, Ohio child injury lawyers want to remind parents that one important part of being outside is maintaining your lawn, which can pose a risk to kids when using motorized eqipment like lawnmowers or weed-wackers.

Here are a few tips to keep you and your children safe:

- Lawn mowers should not be operated by children younger than 12; for a ride-on mower the operator should be at least 16.

- Children should never be allowed to ride along as a passenger on ride-one mowers.

- Do not allow children to modify blade settings; only an adult should do this.

- Young children should never be allowed near the mowing area; they should remain at a safe distance.
