1. Place your cell phone, bag or purse in the back seat, so you are reminded to check the back seat when you arrive at your destination.

2. The inside of a car can reach dangerous temperatures quickly, even when the outside temperature is not hot. Never leave a child alone in a car, even if you expect to come back soon.

3. Lock your car when it is parked so children cannot get in without supervision.
