More Madonna, Less Jesus

Mnemonics

Authorities say there are a number of ways to remember when a small child is in the backseat:
– Keep a stuffed animal in the car seat and place it in the front seat as a reminder whenever the child is in back.
– Always place something in the backseat, such as a purse, lunch bag or windshield sunshade, that requires you to open the back door every time you park.
– Ask your child-care provider to call you or other emergency contacts promptly if the child does not arrive by the normal time.

Parents who forget their kid in the backseat: a history.
