Infants or young children should never be left unattended in a motor vehicle even if it is just for a few minutes.There are a number of dangers that can arise if a child is left alone even for a brief period including:
- Breathing difficulties on a warm day
- Becoming trapped due to electronically operated windows
- Accidental outbreak of fire
- Injury due to accidental movement of the vehicle.
It is important that you never leave the key in the ignition when the car is not in use.
