Overheating: Children heat up faster than adults and can quickly suffer life-threatening heatstroke (heat death in a car) in a hot car.
Temperature rise: The interior temperature of a car can become extremely high within a short time, even with the windows slightly open. Temperatures in the car can rise up to 22 °C above the ambient temperature
Causes

Unattended boarding: Children sometimes climb into cars on their own and can no longer get out.

Parents should be aware of the danger and take appropriate precautions. A simple trick is to place an object (e.g. mobile phone, bag, toy) on the back seat as a reminder.
It is also important to check the rear seat regularly before leaving the car.
