Heatstroke is a large concern for the safety of children.
Here are some summer safety tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
- Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle — even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running and the air conditioning is on
- Make a habit of looking in the vehicle — front and back — before locking the door and walking away
- Ask the childcare provider to call if the child does not show up for care as expected
- Do things that serve as a reminder a child is in the vehicle, such as placing a purse or briefcase in the back seat to ensure no child is accidentally left in the vehicle, writing a note or using a stuffed animal placed in the driver's view to indicate a child is in the car seat
- Teach children a vehicle is not a play area and store keys out of a child's reach
