One Hundred and Twenty Degrees...In less than 20 minutes, even on a mild day, the inside of your car can reach 120 degrees. And since a child's body temperature rises at a rate of 3-5 times faster than an adults, such temperatures can lead to the death of a child in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, too many children die each year when they are intentionally or accidentally left alone in a car. Keep your children safe by remembering to:
- Never, ever leave your child alone in the car! Even for a second!
- Always take your child into the store with you.
- Lock your doors and trunk when your car is parked in the driveway.
- Teach your children not to play in or around cars.
- Put your child's diaper bag on the front seat so you will be reminded she/he is in the car.
- Keep keys and remote devises out of reach of children.
