Title: Don’t Forget What Matters Most: Always Check the Back Seat
As summer heats up, it’s more important than ever to remember a simple habit that can save lives—checking your back seat before locking up and walking away.
At Muskegon Brake & Tire we care deeply about your vehicle, but even more about the precious cargo inside it. Every year, heartbreaking stories emerge about children and pets left in hot cars. Even with the windows cracked, interior temperatures can skyrocket within minutes, putting little ones at extreme risk.
Here are a few tips to help you stay alert:
Place a reminder item—like your purse, phone, or even your left shoe—in the back seat next to your child or pet.
Use a visual cue such as a brightly colored stuffed animal placed in the front seat when your child is in the back.
Create a routine to always “look before you lock,” even when you're just running into a store.
Taking just a few extra seconds to double-check can make all the difference.
Stay safe on the road—and off. Your family is worth the extra glance.
If your vehicle needs a maintenance check or your AC isn’t keeping things cool, we’re here to help. Call or stop by Muskegon Brake & Tire today!
