Tips on keeping children safe in cars

Attached to the horrific BBC story about 2 toddlers left to die in the car in Queensland heat

Keep a teddy bear in the car seat when it is empty, then when you put your child in the seat, move the toy to the front seat
Put a shoe or mobile phone in the seat with your child
Put the car seat on the passenger side of the back seat
Look in the front and back seats when you lock the car
Ask your partner to call to check you dropped your child off at nursery

1, 2 and 5 are particularly wtf?
