There are some devices already in play (you can get them on Amazon) to alert parents for their children in car sears.

But:

"According to NHTSA, 47 percent of the nearly 40 kids that die in hot cars each year are not in car seats. Thirty percent entered an unlocked car to play and became trapped, while about 17 percent were left in the car intentionally by caregivers who were running errands."

In any event, one hot car death is one too many.

So true. Today, I purchased a spring loaded center punch...money well spent. Hope I never have to use it.
