Tip
of the Week
Beat the Heat
- Check the Back Seat
Never leave your child alone in a vehicle - It's the Law! California
Law Requires: That a parent, legal guardian, or other person responsible for a
child who is 6 years of age or younger, may not leave that child inside a motor
vehicle without the supervision of someone 12 years of age or older.
Between May of 1998 to May of 2012, 527 children died
of hyperthermia from being left alone in a motor vehicle in the United
States. This is a completely preventable statistic. On a mild day of 80
degrees, the inside of a vehicle can heat quickly. In only 10 minutes raising
the inside temperature of the vehicle to 99 degrees, in 20 minutes to 109
degrees, in 30 minutes to 114 degrees, and 60 minutes to 123 degrees. It is
never safe to leave a child alone in a parked car because the sun's
radiation warms objects inside of the car, such as the dashboard, steering
wheel, child seat, etc., then these heated objects quickly heat the trapped air
inside of the car, similarly to that of a convection oven.
What can you do? Never leave a child alone in a
vehicle. Once you reach your destination; make sure that all occupants leave
the vehicle when unloading; take all children, including sleeping infants, with
you; lock your vehicle doors and trunks; and keep the keys out of the reach of
children. This information is provided by the County of Los
Angeles Public Health Department. For more information on child safety, click
