Most parents know it’s not safe to leave children or pets in a hot car. But many heat-related passenger deaths are unintentional. Life is busy and full of distractions—especially as a parent! So when you’re out and about, here are some things to remember: -Check your front and back seats, ensure you have your keys in hand and lock all car doors each time you get out of the car. Many tragedies occur when children sneak into an unattended car. -Leave a bag, cell phone or other essential item near your child’s car seat as a reminder to check the back seat. (And try putting one of your child’s toys or lovies in the front seat as an extra reminder.) -Discuss a plan with your child’s daycare center, school or caregiver to always call you if your child doesn’t arrive on time. We’re all only human, but turning these tips and tricks into a regular routine will help you make safety a top priority. #strong4life
