Can we please share with parents grandparents aunts uncles and carers.

Yesterday I was in Petersfield in Lidls car park at 2pm. I could hear a baby crying and looked at a red car which had the drivers window half down and in a baby seat in the back of the car a small baby was crying the car was in full sunlight.

Standing by the car texting on her phone and drinking from a water bottle was a lady I assumed she was the mother. Just about to approach her when a lady with a toddler approached her saying, she had to leave her shopping inside.

Apologising the first lady said, It was getting so hot I thought I would sit inside your car, as I touched it the alarm went off waking your baby. The mother open the back door put her other child inside and continued to have a discussion regarding her shopping. Baby was still crying. Sleeping babies are always safer when they are with you, taking a baby inside a supermarket with has air conditioning is safer than leaving them in a hot car even with the windows open.

Our car outside temperature read 28c.
