Inside a sealed car exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures can climb rapidly to dangerous levels. The dashboard, seats and other interior surfaces absorb solar radiation and release that energy as heat into the enclosed space. Prevention StepsIsrael Police and Maccabi Health Services have issued guidance to parents and drivers aimed at preventing child-left-in-car incidents. Additional safety measures include installing dedicated alarms in car seats that activate if pressure is removed while the vehicle remains running, using mobile phone reminders, and avoiding distraction while driving. Maccabi Health Services emphasizes that even momentary lapses, leaving a child alone "just for a moment," can result in life-threatening heat exposure.
