Kids and hot cars are a deadly combination. It is never safe to leave an infant, toddler, or child alone in a vehicle, for any amount of time.

Cars heat up fast and stay hot, reaching deadly temperatures inside even when it’s only in the 60s outside. A child in a hot car can die from heatstroke in just minutes.

When stress levels are high and sleep quality is low, it's easier than you think to forget your kiddo in the backseat. Always remember to look before you lock! 👀➡️🔒
