Consumer Reports warns: A child can die in a hot car faster than you think

Consumer Reports warns that 37 children die annually from heatstroke in hot cars, with temperatures rising to 105°F in one hour even when outside temperatures are 61°F. Children's bodies heat up three to five times faster than adults, making unattended vehicles dangerous regardless of weather conditions. Safety tips include checking the back seat, using visual reminders, and keeping cars locked.
