Children
who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death.
Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
For example, infants and small
childrenleftinavehicleonahot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.
Protecting Children General Guidelines
Lock all doors and tailgate when
your vehicle is not in use.
Never let two children use the
same seat belt.
Keep vehicle keys and remote
transmitters out of the reach of
children.
Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle.
