Feeling lucky today? 🍀

Child safety shouldn’t rely on luck. Vehicular heatstroke is preventable.

✔️ Check the back seat
✔️ Lock your car
✔️ Keep keys out of reach
✔️ Call 911 if you see a child alone in a vehicle

Let’s protect every child—no luck required.

We can all help prevent child hot car deaths by taking these steps - even in cooler months:

Call 911 if a child is alone in a car.
Make reminders to check the back seats.
Don’t leave a child alone in a car even for a quick trip into a store.
If a child is missing, check cars and trunks.

At least 35 children have died in hot cars nationwide this year, with the most recent case reported just a few weeks ago, a tragic reminder that this issue doesn’t disappear once summer ends.

While many states are experiencing cold, winter weather, temperatures remain warm in much of the country, and even in colder regions, an unexpectedly warm or sunny day can pose a risk. Cars can heat up to dangerous levels in a matter of minutes, even on mild days.

At Safe Kids Worldwide, we don't want any parent to have to endure the loss of a child. By working together to raise awareness and share prevention methods, we can reduce the number of hot car deaths. To learn more: www.safekids.org/heatstroke
