How to Keep Kids from Picking up Germs From Potentially Contaminated Surfaces During the Coronavirus Epidemic

Lil Sidekick Blog

The Lil’ Sidekick is a strap that fastens objects to strollers, car seats, and high chairs to keep them from falling onto potentially contaminated surfaces.

Experts worldwide are still learning details about COVID-19. Luckily, there are far fewer cases of the virus reported in children and the virus seems to cause a milder infection in children than in adults. But more recently there have been cases of kids developing more serious symptoms, sometimes with a delay of several weeks after being unknowingly infected.

Numerous tips have been published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to keep your family safe. We are all familiar with the tips to practice good hand hygiene, social distance, stock up on essentials, and keep baby’s gear like baby's bottles, plastic toys, bedding and clothes clean. But how do we keep kids from picking up germs from random surfaces and the floor? The answer is the Lil’ Sidekick multi-functional strap that keeps kids from dropping sippy cups and more.

Lil’ Sidekick is the best way to keep your child’s things from getting contaminated because, as we say, it will help #StopTheDropGame.
