Advocates at the nonprofit Kids and Car Safety are urging parents and caregivers to be extra careful.
There are certain safety measures that you can take to protect your children before you even start your car.
For example, if you need a key fob to get into work, leave it in the back seat of your car next to your child in the car seat. That way you can’t get into the office without going back and noticing the child. You can also do it with a laptop, house keys or a garage door opener. And as an added line of defense, there’s new technology that attaches to the straps of the child’s car seat, connects to your smartphone and watch, and connects an alert.
“My emergency contacts are getting an alert within three minutes if I don’t unbuckle his chest clip,” explained Rollins. And many carmakers like Kia and Hyundai are putting new smart detection systems on upgraded models. The National Transportation Safety Board will later require this in all new cars, but Rollins warns awareness is the first line of defense., the majority of hot car fatalities involve children who were unknowingly left by an otherwise loving, responsible parent or caregiver . Additionally, about a fourth of children who die in hot cars got into the car on their own and became trapped.
