Every year, many kids in cars are left alone in vehicles which make them vulnerable to a whole range of dangers. These include heat stroke, making the vehicle move leading to a crash, kidnapping and being injured.
There are several measures you can take to ensure your child is not left alone in the car. First never leave them alone near a car even for a short period of time. To avoid forgetting they are in the rear seat, make sure something you need is also in the rear of the vehicle such as a cell phone or purse or briefcase. In addition, every time you arrive somewhere and leave the vehicle, always open the rear door to check no child has been left inside, before you lock the vehicle. Another useful tip is have a large toy animal in the child seat when the child is not in it, and when the child is there, put the stuffed toy next to you in the passenger seat to help you to remember the child is in the seat.
