Don\u2019t leave them alone in the vehicle<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To avoid any heatstroke or death, kids shouldn\u2019t be left inside a vehicle. Many parents or caregivers forget children in the back seat. <\/span>As a way to<\/span> remind yourself, <\/span>put your purse or wallet in the back or a toy upfront so it can act as a reminder.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure everything<\/span> and everyone<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From your children to luggage, everything and everyone should be secured. The booster seats and car seats should be <\/span>tethered<\/span> down to the latch system in the vehicles. These should come with <\/span>instructions,<\/span> so you know how to s<\/span>ecure these seats properly.<\/span> Any loose luggage or items should also be secured down as well. They could become dangerous in an accident or a hard brake. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Location is key<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your child is 12 and under or they weigh less than the average <\/span>12-year-old<\/span>, they should sit in the back seats. Children under 4<\/span> years old should sit in a booster or car seat.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Put your phone down<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As tempting as it may be to use, put your phone on do not disturb mode and use your phone when you are not driving. While distracted driving should never happen, <\/span>it can teach young people bad habits.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
