I know that myself, as a mom, I have a million things running through my head- remembering grocery lists, doctor’s appointments, you know, mom stuff. I am always forgetting something. I get to the checkout line with a heaping cart of groceries and realize I don’t have my wallet. I’ve done this several times- you’d think I’d learn. I’ve heard stories about parents forgetting their children in the car and instead of thinking “How in the heck is that possible?!” I think “That is so scary but it can happen to the best of us.” My husband always double checks to make sure we didn’t forget one of the kids somewhere when we get in the car and I laugh but really, it’s a good habit to get into- especially when getting OUT of the car.
After a near tragedy, one family has created window sticker reminders to help prevent accidently leaving your child in the car. The window clings can be placed in your vehicles to remind you to double check before you lock the car. They are for sale at emmasinspirations.com for $6.95 for a pack of 6 decals.
