Forget Me Not: Simple Tips to Prevent Leaving Your Child in the Car

To ensure you never forget your little one in the car, take these simple yet crucial steps:

Place a personal item, like a backpack, in the back seat alongside your child. This visual reminder can help you develop a habit of checking the back seat every time you exit the vehicle.

Arrange with your child’s care provider to call you if your child doesn’t arrive at their scheduled care time. This added layer of accountability can provide peace of mind and help prevent tragic accidents.

By implementing these measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of forgetting your child in the car and keep them safe.
