Everyone can help prevent hot car deaths.


Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended — even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running, and the air conditioning is on.

Make it a habit to check your entire vehicle — front and back — before locking the door and walking away. Train yourself to Park, Look, Lock, and ask yourself, "Where's Baby?"

·  

  • A child's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's. When a child is left in a hot vehicle, that child's temperature can rise quickly — and they could die within minutes. 
  • Heatstroke begins when the core body temperature reaches about 104 degrees. 
  • A child can die when their body temperature reaches 107 degrees.
  • In 2021, 23 children died of vehicular heatstroke.
  • In 2018 and 2019, we saw a record number of hot car deaths — 53 children died each year — the most in at least 20 years, according to NoHeatstroke.org
  • Leaving pets locked in cars is never safe.  But when the weather gets warmer, it can be deadly.
