Dumb Parents!

I believe it should be called 'PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY'. Only an asshole who is preoccupied with their damn phone leaves a child behind in a car … whether the weather is hot or cold!

Can you please use a photo that shows the child correctly buckled? There is no chest strap on the car seat shown in this article.

There is no greater offense

Easy - buy a Tesla !

The answer is simple. Same mechanism that senses when there’s someone in the passenger seat (seatbelt alert) needs to be put in backseats...basically.

This is a scary stat. Besides having automakers create technology to detect notify driver are there stats to show this a new problem since cellphones? Is there data about this horror that goes back say 20 yrs it would be important to know unequivocally why this is occurring

If you are so irresponsible that you can't remember that your kid is in the car then you shouldn't have kids....

Ban vehicles. We need vehicle reform.

Friends & family please remember your little ppl & pets when you get out the car. Thank you to honda Hyundai NissanUSA for your commitment in finding a solution.

If it happens every year, 1 child let alone 50 or 20 or 5, is too many... I find it intentional...

Cars been around for what, 100 years? C'mon now, this trend is new. They didn't forget their smart phone in the car tho.

There have been times my wife has left me in a hot car, but never our kids! God bless her.

Put your responsibility to your child first!

Just a thought. Do not leave your child unattended in your car.

Somehow Trump.

I still don't and will not understand how could you forget your child in a car!!!!!!!

avg temp on earth was warmer 10,000 years ago.

Put your phone or wallet/purse in the back seat. It's that simple.
