Child Heatstroke: Keeping Your Kids Safe from Heat Injuries in Cars (Infographic)
July 25, 2022
Categories: Pediatrics (Children's Health )
Our little ones mean a lot to us and it’s tough to imagine forgetting them anywhere – but it happens. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the majority of child related hot car incidents happen because someone forgets a child in a car. Keep your children safe by:
- Never leaving your child in a car, no matter what the weather is.
- Teaching your children that cars are not play areas.
- Placing a child’s item on the front seat and a personal item in the back seat.
When traveling with a child or infant, practice looking inside your car before locking it. Remember: Park. Look. Lock.
