Just to add:

It is also harder in the winter for your body to go into hypothermia because your body temperature stays relatively high and the temperature inside a car would never get that cold to not bring on major shivering which elevates body temps enough to keep you alive. It is just so much harder to die of hypothermia in a shelter in winter....remember Leo’s character climbing inside a horse in the Revenant during a snow storm.

Lots of great points made here about kids today and I agree with nannyde idea of parents having alarms on their phones. My husband has an alarm every day telling him to pick up the kids off the bus. It has a double alarm safety so it goes off 30 minutes before and then 5 minutes before. It is so easy to set this up!
