Excellent and timely article. It doesn't take a very warm outside temperature to turn a vehicle into an oven. The suggestion to put a "reminder item" in the back seat is a good low tech solution, but it's also a pretty sad commentary on our society that it's easier to remember to take your cell phone than it is to remember your child is sitting behind you.

Our own Ken Waller served as a very valuable resource, and he's quoted in the
