"For some reason, when people leave their car in the driveway or in the garage, they feel comfortable letting their guard down," Fennell added."You should never leave your vehicle at home unlocked."In 2018, a record 54 children died of vehicular heatstroke and 53 died in 2019. During the worldwide pandemic in 2020, 25 children lost their lives in hot cars. Two children have died so far in 2021, and nearly 1,000 children have died of vehicular heatstroke since 1990.

Most of the children are mistakenly forgotten. Some of the children crawl into the car without the parents’ knowledge and get stuck. And, a small percentage of children die because their parents believe it’s safe to leave them.Infants and toddlers are most at risk — 87 percent of children who have died in hot cars are under age 3.

“It is quite dangerous for children and infants as they don’t have as great of an ability to regulate their temperature,” says Dr. Richard Saladino, chief of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. “If the outside temperature [is] 90, temperatures [in the car] can increase from 80 degrees to 130 degrees in 10 to 15 minutes.”This heat causes the core body temperature to increase to 106 degrees, leading to heat stoke.

“The temperatures rise very quickly, rise to such extremes where the body can no longer compensate,” says Dr. Amy Sniderman, pediatrician at Cleveland Clinic Children’s. Fennell believes overwhelmed, overtired parents forget their children. Many parents believe they have dropped their children off at daycare only to find later the child was still in the car. Or parents don’t realize their kids climbed into the car.
