[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who goes home and forgets their kid in the car for several hours? [/quote]

I have unfortunately done a ton of research about this. It is 99.99% of the time not on purpose. It usually happens when its a different caretaker, different pickup time, etc. You are out of your routine and going on "autopilot". Have you ever driven through a traffic light and not really remembered driving though it? You're on autopilot. Usually the child has fallen asleep or is just quietly occupied not realizing the parent is not coming back. Many cars are being made now with weight sensors that alert you if there is something over 20 lbs in the back seat.[/quote]

Car manufacturers won’t spend the $$

Of course it could be required, if legislators a  cared about children instead of corporate profits.

I recently heard some  advice: when you are dropping your kid off, especially if it is not normally your routine…put one shoe in the backseat, so you have to look there.

All humans are capable of mistakes, despite what the haters will now claim. [/quote]
