I think that’s possible but jeez, these parents really made a whole lot of mistakes all at once then. Wouldn’t the baby have been quite red and sweaty? I just can’t imagine not being attuned to that on such a hot day.

At a certain point, I am unable to buy that the family was that dumb. It’s easier for me to believe they were troubled than this stupid. [/quote]

Right?!?! Even on beach vacations (at temps lower than this) we always went indoors for the hotter midday hours when we had little ones. Very common right? Nevermind the constant fretting about shade, sunscreen, encouraging liquids etc due to concerns about overheating. Pretty normal among parents. It’s hard to believe a parent would not be concerned about the sun and heat with an infant this age...[/quote]

Especially being in one of those carriers….even the super high end ones are still kinda hot and stuffy on a super hot day. Even with a sun shade, it just feels like the baby would have been pretty exposed to the heat.

I went with my brother and niece on a hike in the desert with her in the carrier (in April, in the morning). Temps got into the 80s and we were pretty constantly adjusting her in one way or another.  And this was on a 45 minute hike. And he’d used the carrier with her many dozens of times before. It’s just natural when they are in the heat and exposed like that to be checking them frequently for any indication of an issue (not even just overheating but pinching, sunscreen in their eyes, or the baby is fussing and you are trying to figure out why, a poopy diaper, etc.).[/quote]
