Never leave a child alone in a vehicle and consistently leave all unattended vehicles locked. Create reminders and habits such as leaving a purse, cell phone, or item you need at your next stop near the child. You can also leave your child’s favorite toy or a bottle on the passenger front seat as a visual reminder.  Finally, take action and call 911 immediately if you see an unattended child in a vehicle.
