Winter's here, and it's time to wrap our young ones in snuggly blankets and thick layers! But no need to hibernate when you've got these top 10 tips to keep kids safe and sound.

• Layer up! Bundle up your little ones with extra layers and make sure they're covered from head to toe. Dress them in one more layer than you'd wear.
• Keep it safe! Snow and cold can create dangerous road conditions, so play it safe and stay off the streets.
• Be clothing savvy. Scarves and hoods can be dangerous for small children, so keep them warm with other cozy clothing.
• Check-in on warmth. Remind your kids to come inside if they're cold or wet, and keep an eye on them while they play outside.
• Don't forget sunscreen! Even in winter, the sun can still cause sunburn. So, protect your kids' skin with sunscreen.
• Be cautious around fires. Keep a watchful eye on wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor fire-pits. And, if you have to use alternative heating methods, make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.
• Get equipped! Protect your kids from injuries by having them wear helmets when snowboarding, skiing, and playing ice hockey.
• Prevent nosebleeds. Use a cold-air humidifier in your child's room and saline nose drops to keep their nose moist.
• Keep them hydrated. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and offer warm drinks and soup for extra comfort.
• Watch for signs of danger. Keep an eye out for frostbite and hypothermia symptoms, and call 911 if you think your child is in danger.
