Children, Hot Weather, and Cars = Danger
June 11, 2009
We need your help to make sure that no child dies needlessly by being left alone in a hot vehicle.
– Put something you’ll need – such as your cell phone, handbag, a sunshade, lunch or briefcase, on the floor in the back seat. Get in the habit of opening the back door of your vehicle every time you reach a destination. This way, making sure no child is left behind will become a habit. Safety experts call this the ‘Look…Then Lock‘ campaign.
– Keep a large teddy bear in the child’s car seat when it’s not occupied. When the child is placed in the seat, put the teddy bear in the front passenger seat. It’s a great visual reminder that anytime the teddy bear is up front, a child is secured in a child safety seat behind you!
