How are balloons a choking hazard for small children?

Many parents are surprised to find out that a leading cause of childhood death is choking from balloons. The danger lies in the balloon taking the shape of the child’s windpipe or airway and not moving through as a solid object would. Children up through age 8 are at risk, so keep a close eye on those party balloons.

Put uninflated or popped balloons far out of children’s reach. You may want to avoid latex rubber balloons altogether and use mylar balloons instead -- they won’t deflate or pop as easily as latex balloons, so they are less of a hazard.
