VIDEO from Medialink: Never Leave Your Child in Your Car Alone

--As summer brings us warmer weather, we all need to be wary about how dangerous heat can be for children in vehicles. Since 1998, 293 children have died due to heatstroke in cars. One out of five heatstroke deaths happen when a child is intentionally left in a car. Here is what parents need to know to keep their children safe.

A baby's body will heat up three to five times faster than an adult's body, so it takes less time for a baby to become overcome by heat. Parents should avoid leaving a child unattended in a car.

Chevrolet is partnering with Safe Kids Worldwide to show how dangerously hot it can become inside a car. The partnership includes displays with temperature sensors inside cars to show just how dangerous a vehicle can be. They are also recommending that you lock your car even in your own driveway to prevent children from climbing in and being overcome by the heat.
