Since 1998, there have been more than 800 children who have died from heat stroke after being left in hot cars. As temps 🌡 rise across the nation this summer, follow these quick tips to keep your passengers safe! #HotCars #ChildSafety
1. ❌ Never leave your child alone in the car for any period of time. #HotCars #ChildSafety
2. Make it a habit of leaving your cell phone 📱, briefcase 💼, or purse 👜 in the backseat close to your child’s car seat. #HotCars #ChildSafety
3. When you leave your car, be sure to lock 🔒 it so your children do not climb inside and become trapped. #HotCars #ChildSafety
4. Check the backseat every time you leave your car 🚗. #HotCars #ChildSafety
5. If you see a child 👶 left in a car, call 911 🚨 immediately. #HotCars #ChildSafety
I would also urge my colleagues to pass the #HOTCARS Act, which would require all new passenger vehicles to be equipped with a child safety alert system. Let’s get this important legislation to the President’s desk before the end of the summer. wicker.senate.gov/public/index.c…
