It is dangerous to leave children alone in a vehicle,even for a minute. Children can suffer from heatstroke, knock a vehicle into motion, be strangled by a power window or be abducted. Even with the windows down, the inside of a parked car can reach 125 ° in just minutes and a child’s body heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult’s.

To be sure your child is never left alone in your vehicle, put your cell phone, handbag or employee badge on the floorboard in the back seat. Always ‘Look Before You Lock’ and double check the back seat before leaving your vehicle.

Lock power windows so children cannot get caught in them. Power windows can strangle a child or cut off a fingers.

Ask your child care provider to call you if your child does not show up as planned.

If a child goes missing, check the inside of vehicles carefully and open car trunks right away.

Lock vehicles at all times, even in the garage or driveway. Store keys out of children’s reach.

EVERY WEEK, at least 50 U.S. children are backed over in driveways and parking lots. Children are also injured or killed because they cannot be seen directly in front of vehicles.

Little ones who dart out of the home often go unseen by a driver who is coming or going. Many times the driver of the vehicle is a parent, relative or neighbor.

Walk all the way around and look behind a vehicle prior to moving it. Know where your kids are and ensure an adult is properly supervising them before moving a vehicle. A rearview camera and/or sensors can be added to any vehicle at your local auto shop. Teach children that parked vehicles might move. Tell them that even though they can see the vehicle, the driver might not see them. Trim the landscaping around your driveway to ensure you can see children. Hold a child’s hand when around vehicles. Teach your children to never play in, around or behind any vehicle. Set the emergency brake every time you park.

Safety TipsSafety Tips

Monitor children extra carefully whenever people are coming or going from the home.

Hot car deaths ARE preventableOn average, 37 U.S. children die in hot cars every year (1 every 9 days);

55% were unknowingly left by a loving, responsible parent or caregiver 27% got into a vehicle on their own

88% are age 3 & under; infants are the most at-risk

A change in daily routine, lack of sleep, stress, fatigue, and simple distractions are things ALL new parents experience. These are some of the reasons children have been unknowingly left alone in vehicles.

DENTRO

www.KidsAndCars.org

Es peligroso dejar a los niños solos dentro de un vehículo, ni siquiera por un minuto. Los niños pueden sufrir golpes de calor, hacer que un vehículo entre en movimiento, ser estrangulados por una ventana eléctrica o ser secuestrados. Incluso con las ventanas abiertas completamente, el interior de un automóvil estacionado puede alcanzar los 52°C (125°F) en sólo minutos. El cuerpo de un niño se calienta de 3-5 veces más rápido que el de un adulto.

Para asegurarse de que su hijo nunca se quede solo en su vehículo, coloque su teléfono celular, bolso o identificación de empleado en el piso del asiento trasero. Siempre 'Mire Antes de Cerrar con Seguro' y vuelva a revisar el asiento trasero antes de salir de su vehículo.

Ponga el seguro a las ventanas eléctricas para que los niños no queden atrapados en ellas. Las ventanas eléctricas pueden estrangular a un niño o cercenar sus deditos.

Pídale a su proveedor de cuidado infantil que lo llame si su hijo no se presenta cuando está programado.

Si un niño desaparece, revise el interior de los vehículos con cuidado y abra las cajuelas de inmediato.

Cierre con seguro los vehículos en todo momento, incluso dentro del garaje o en la misma entrada. Guarde las llaves fuera del alcance de los niños.

Usar los servicios drive-thru, si existen, y pague por el combustible en la misma bomba

El error más grande que cualquier padre o cuidador puede cometer es pensar que nunca se olvidaría de dejar a su hijo dentro de un vehículo.

CADA SEMANA en los EE. UU., al menos 50 niños son atropellados al retroceder en las entradas de las casa y estacionamientos. Los niños también pueden quedar heridos o morir, debido a que no se les pueden ver directamente en frente de los vehículos. Los pequeños que salen corriendo de la casa a menudo pasan desapercibidos por un conductor que entra o sale. Muchas veces el conductor del vehículo es un padre, pariente o vecino.

Los puntos ciegos varían dentro de las clasificaciones de vehículos.

Los SUVs, minivans y camiones pueden tener mayores zonas ciegas, por lo que es difícil o imposible para el conductor, ver a los niños detrás o directamente en frente de un vehículo. Las pendientes empinadas pueden reducir la visibilidad aún más

Más niños resultan heridos o mueren durante las vacaciones, las reuniones familiares, los horarios agitados y los cambios de horario.

EXTERNAMENTE

Camine por todo el alrededor y mire en la parte de atrás de un vehículo antes de moverlo. Sepa exactamente dónde están sus hijos y asegúrese que un adulto esté supervisándolos adecuadamente antes de poner el vehículo en movimiento. Cámaras y/o sensores para la parte trasera pueden ser añadidos a cualquier vehículo en cualquier taller de mecánica. Instruya a los niños que los vehículos estacionados pueden moverse solos. Dígales que aunque ellos pueden ver el vehículo, es posible que el conductor no los pueda ver a ellos. Corte la vegetación alrededor de su entrada para asegurarse de que pueda ver a los niños. Agarre de la mano a los niños cuando estén cerca de vehículos. Enseñe a sus hijos a nunca jugar dentro, alrededor o detrás de ningún vehículo. Poner el freno de emergencia cada vez que se estaciona.

Monitoree mucho más cuidadosamente a sus niños cuando haya gente entrando o saliendo de su casa.

En los EE. UU., un promedio de 37 niños mueren en autos cerrados y calientes cada año (1 cada 9 días);

55% fueron dejados encerrados por sus propios padres o cuidantes, a pesar de su cariño y responsabilidad.

27% se encerraron ellos mismos dentro de un vehículo.

88% tienen 3 años o menos; los bebés son los que están más a riesgo.

Cambios en la rutina diaria, falta de sueño, el estrés, la fatiga y las distracciones simples, son cosas que experimentan TODOS los nuevos padres. Estas son las razones más comunes por las que se olvida que los niños se quedan encerrados dentro de vehículos.

Se pueden prevenir las muertes en autos cerrados y calientes.
