Reply To: child left in car seat- how to prevent?

There are two things I would suggest. Never put the child directly behind you. Always put the car seat diagonally behind you so your peripheral vision as you turn to check the seat next to you sees the car seat. Second, put your cell phone next to the child. That is usually the first thing you grab when you leave the car or the first thing you search for when you get inside. Also get an extra wide rear view mirror so you always see the car seat and the child each time you check your mirror.
