2-Year-Olds Have the Most Tricycle Accidents

Tricycle accidents requiring a visit to the emergency room peak when children reach age 2, a new study finds. The most common ER-worthy injuries from tricycles in the study were injuries to the head, according to the research published today (Sept. 14) in the journal Pediatrics. Most deaths involving tricycles occurred when children fell into swimming pools while riding unsupervised, the researchers also found, leading to an important take-home message for parents.
