If you’re stressed, you’re distracted

Check every time, never leave a child behind in a vehicle.

Stress, exhaustion and distractions can impact short term memory, leading to devastating consequences when transporting children. Look Before You Lock means building a routine of checking to help avoid leaving a child in a car unintentionally. This means checking even if you know your child is not with you.

Make sure to discuss your Look Before You Lock routine with every person who transports your child. This includes partners, grandparents, and friends. Making checking a habit could just save their life.
