Vehicular safety for children goes beyond car seats. Here are a few more things to keep in mind when your baby or toddler is in and around cars. These tips are for more than just babies, toddlers, and children.  These tips are also useful for adults.

Children & Heatstroke Safety Tips

Top Safety Tips
Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children, and it can happen to anyone. Avoid this tragedy by remembering to do these three things:
●Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute.
●Make sure to keep your car locked when it’s parked, so kids don’t get into the car on their own.
●Create reminders by putting something in the back seat next to your children such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you are not following your normal routine.
●Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.

Stay safe my friends.
