Over 900 children have died in hot cars since 1990 according to kidsandcars.org, with 53 deaths occurring in 2018 alone. To prevent child hot car deaths, the document recommends keeping car keys on your person at all times, tracking time to help EMTs, keeping cars locked when unoccupied, and parking in shade during hot weather. If a child is locked inside a hot car, the advice is to remain calm, block windows to keep out heat, call 911 before breaking a window away from the child, and to call a locksmith with emergency services.
