Protect Your Children With Our High-Visibility Product Range

As autumn leaves fall and winter chills set in, the days grow shorter and walks to and from school become shrouded in darkness. For parents, caregivers and educators, ensuring the safety of our children is paramount. High-visibility vests, armbands, reflective stickers and clip-on reflectors are highly effective solutions to enhance the welfare of children during their daily journeys. Colan supplies a wide range of bright and colourful products that young people feel comfortable in and want to wear. 

Why Is Visibility A Concern? 

The National Safety Council reported that in 2021, the percentage of road traffic accidents involving pedestrians was significantly higher during hours of darkness. 35% of incidents occurred in dark conditions where the road was not lit, 39% during dark hours with road lighting, and a further 6% at dusk or dawn. Reduced daylight hours and often unfavourable weather conditions in autumn and winter create a challenging environment for pedestrians, especially children. The diminished visibility poses serious risks when walking to and from school but reflective gear enables road users to foresee potential dangers, reducing the likelihood of collisions. 

High-Visibility Products 

Increased Visibility 

Our range of safety tabards, reflective armbands, high-vis rucksacks and umbrellas, and clip-on reflectors substantially increase a child’s visibility in low-light conditions. These products stand out from a distance making them easily noticeable to drivers and other pedestrians. 

Accident Prevention 

Wearing high-visibility gear gives drivers ample time to slow down, change lanes and react appropriately, even in wet conditions. This is especially critical in scenarios where children might be near crossings, on narrow pavements or bus stops. Younger children may not always exercise the best judgement when it comes to road safety, but reflective wear reminds them to remain vigilant and responsible, in addition to increasing their presence. 

Peace Of Mind

Equipping children with the right tools gives parents, guardians and caregivers greater assurance that their loved ones will stay safe. Our children’s safety range is a small investment that yields invaluable peace of mind. 

The Highway Code

Rule 59 of the Highway Code states that cyclists should ‘wear light-coloured or fluorescent clothing which helps other road users to see you in daylight and poor light’. Although not a legal requirement, it is wise to educate your children on road safety good practices.
