I’ve read about how it’s a good idea to wear reflectors, reflective clothing, or at least light colored clothing when your outside, especially when it’s starting to get dark.  Dark clothing and non-reflective clothing can be very hard to see for drivers.  Here’s a scary statistic, did you know that over 2/3 of pedestrian fatalities occur  when it’s either dark or even dark with street lights on.

Did you also know that in Scandinavian countries they have the best traffic safety records in the world?! Every school child has to wear one and their traffic fatalities involving children are the lowest in the world according to WHO Global Status report on road safety.

A wonderful company called Safees is a great solution to this problem.  Safees are hard prism reflectors that can easily be attached with a clip to clothing, book bags, stroller, purses, jackets, costumes, etc.  They can be worn by both adults and children and come in lots of fun designs.  They meet CE and Lloyds certification and adhere to ISO standards.  They also meet very high EU standards of environmental consideration, in other words no waste is produced in the manufacturing and Safees are 100% recyclable.

Here is a short video on how Safees can protect you and your children at night

 Safees make you 500% more visible to drivers at night.  When I opened my review samples, even without actually trying them out in the environment I could see that they were highly reflective with an irridecent shimmer to each one.  My oldest son volunteered to try them out for the review.  I first had him stand in the backyard roughly 10 feet away at first.  I attached one Safees to the back of his shirt and one Safees to the front.  Here is the first picture:

This Safees was the clear horse design.  I then had him go up about 30 feet into the yard and took a picture of the one on his back.

You can see that it’s hard to see my son in this picture but the blue snowflake Safee is bright and easy to spot.  I was impressed with how much it reflected and was visible even from 30 feet away.  There are many different colors and styles to fit just about anyone.

Safees website also has a helpful page with statistics and links to traffic awareness and traffic safety sites for tips on how to keep your children safe at night: http://www.safees.com/pages/stay-safe-heres-how

At a cost of only $6 each I think there would be a smart idea during your back to school purchases.  Clip one to your child’s backpack or jacket.  It won’t be long until we start losing daylight and only a few months until trick or treat.  Safees is also offering a coupon to save 15% off your order of Safees product with code: Safeesbacktoschool2012
