Kids on elevators
The rules for riding elevators are about the same for kids as they are for adults.

• It's a good idea for children to be especially careful around the doors.
• Kids should never put their hands or feet into the area between the moving door and the adjacent door jamb.
• Kids should never to try to stop a closing door by putting their hand or foot in its path.

Kids on escalators
When riding with a small child, hold his or her hand, or carry the child in one arm while holding the handrail with the other. Help children step onto and off of the escalator.

• Do not allow children to sit on escalator steps  -  clothing or fingers can get caught.
• Never let children ride on or play with the handrail.
• Don't allow children to use an escalator unattended.
• Don't allow children to walk or run up the "down" escalator or down the "up" escalator.
• Don't let children drag their feet along an escalator's sides. No matter how tempting it is to make that distinctive "squeaky noise," a child's foot can become caught between the step and the side panel, causing serious injury.
• Never take a stroller on an escalator. Use the elevator instead.
