We do not mean to preach, but it is important to realize how potentially dangerous it is to leave unattended children in or around a vehicle. Safe Anyone can become a victim of these preventable deaths and injuries, but children are especially at risk. Never leave children alone or unsupervised - not even for a minute. Never leave car keys where children can find them. Always lock cars so children cannot get into a car unsupervised.
Unlocked cars pose serious risks to children who are naturally curious and often lack fear.
Keep the doors and trunk of cars locked when parked in the garage, driveway, or near home. Parked cars can be deathtraps for kids. Crawl around in your family vehicle and look at everything from a childs perspective. Teach children about the dangers of a car. A car is NOT a toy.
