Safety Tips
- Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are slightly open.
- Put something that will be needed for work—cell phone, briefcase, employee badge, etc.—in the backseat.
- Keep a stuffed animal in the car seat. When the child is buckled in, place the stuffed animal in the front as a reminder.
- When leaving, check to be sure everyone is out of the car. Do not overlook children who may have fallen asleep.
- Call 911 to report a child unattended in a vehicle.
