Forgetting a Child in Their Seat on a Hot Day
Every Summer, children unfortunately lose their lives due to being left in their car seat on a hot day. Though this isn't exactly a misuse of a car seat, it's an all-too-common mistake that can be prevented. "As an advocate and as a technician, I tell people to do whatever it takes to remind you your child is in the back of the car with you," Tilton said. "Some people say to put your shoe in the backseat with your child so you have to go in there before you leave your car. If you are taking care of a child, especially when it's not your norm, leave yourself a gentle reminder to check the backseat."
