Preventing child deaths in hot cars

It seems that every summer we read and hear about tragic cases in which a driver decided he/she could leave the child in the car while he/she runs into the store to get a few groceries. Sometimes you can replace store with bar and groceries with drinks. Other times you can replace store with drug dealer etc. No matter the reason leaving the child in a hot car can be and too often is fatal.
Our friends at NHTSA are trying to put a new and greater emphasis on this situation to save some children from a horrible fate.
Read about the NHTSA efforts and remember that a hot car effects a child more seriously and more quickly than an adult.
