Safety Tips Around Cars

Remember these saftey tips to keep your kids safe:

don't leave them in a car, which can quickly heat up, especially on a hot, sunny day
always lock your car and secure the keys so that your kids can't get to them
warn your kids about playing in the car by themselves without adult supervision
install a trunk release mechanism, so that they can't get trapped in the trunk
get your kids out of the car first, and then worry about getting the groceries, etc., out of the car when you get home
make sure that child car providers and day care workers have a plan to make sure that kids aren't left in the day care providers car or van
