Chaverim is posting the following tips that can be helpful to prevent these tragedies.

1. Always “LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK.” Get in the habit of checking the backseat every time you get out of the car.

2. The Waze app has a feature which reminds you to check for children after arriving at a destination. Enabling this feature only takes a minute and may save your child’s life.

3. Be extra alert if there are any changes to your routine. That’s when the risk of unintentionally leaving your child in your car increases.

4. Leave an item you’ll need at your next destination in the backseat, such as your cell phone, purse, or laptop.

5. Discuss the topic of hot-car deaths with every person who drives your child anywhere. This should include partners, grandparents, babysitters, friends and even bus drivers.
