I didn't make this up, but it's a brilliant idea.
Place your cell phone nearby or under the infant seat.
A. You won't be able to text/talk while driving the baby.
B. When you notice you don't have your phone you will see the baby.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 95% of those who say it's feasible to forget your baby in the car - do not have kids.

I have kids and honestly I can believe that someone thought they dropped off the kids but didn’t.
I make a habit of checking behind me all times, I can’t imagine this child gasping in that hot car, makes me sick

Infants face the rear. That's part of the problem.
Well see, that's why you buy the special mirror that attaches to the seat that allows you to see the baby when you look in the mirror. Which, by the way, is something that any decent parent should have to make sure the baby is ok and not choking on something. I just assumed that it didn't need to be said.

Congrats for being part of that 5%.
I still stand on what I said. No fricking way do I forget my kids in the car. Not even after working dogs on a turnaround with very little sleep and being a zombie during the day. No way.
ETA: and it's not like I claim to be superdad or anything.
I mean, shite people! It's your child. It's not like forgetting the milk (or an important case like a poster up above said) in the car. Failure is not an option.

There are absolutely no circumstances where this is feasible. To say that you forgot your kid in the car is pure negligence. Inexcusable and makes me sick that child suffered that way. I mean how do you even claim to have forgotten driving to the daycare, getting out of the car, bringing your child inside, saying hi to the daycare workers or even if they help you get the child out of the car. I mean people act like it's comparable to "I wonder if I locked the door on my way out". That poor child. I don't believe that at all.

She was probably distracted by texting.

Has anyone here mentioned the notion that it's weird that she would drop a baby that young off without their car seat? When they're still rear facing and in an infant carrier, everyone I know takes the carrier and baby out of the car and leaves it at daycare. My 6 month old's carseat is never, ever in my car unless she's in there too. So even if I did break routine and pass up daycare, her huge freeking car seat being there would remind me. I'm not saying it could "never" happen, but as a parent of a kid this age, I find it hard to imagine that the carrier wasn't noticed when she got out and got back into the car at work.

I will give her the benefit of the doubt until I hear she was boning someone on the side that day.
But it is really an easy thing to avoid.
We had a giant stuffed dog that we kept in the car seat unless our child was in it. If the giant dog was in my front seat- it meant a kid was in the car seat.
When the infant was dropped off- the stuffed dog went in the back.
Easy peasy

They need to start charging this as murder.

I don't look in my backseat of my car when I get in and out of it, especially if I'm in a hurry.
Sleep deprivation can really take a toll on someone. If you've never experienced it, you have no idea how it affects your decision making, memory, mindfulness, etc.
This could happen to any parent. Even the best.
My husband and I always texted each other (actually still do) as soon as one of us drops off and picks up our kids to and from school. If one of us doesn't text because we forget, the other one checks in to make sure everything is ok.

When a police officer leaves a suspect in a car and that suspect dies, what would be said?
Just a terrible mistake?

1) I'm very familiar with sleep deprivation. I have a four year old and a 6 month old who amazingly regresses at sleep as she ages.
2) like you, we use the text method every single day.
3) I'm not a perfect parent, I just find these stories where they never notice the dead kid in the car until they're in a public place. I'm sure it's possible, but it's hard to imagine.

Negligent homicide

Not even close to the same thing.
Why do some people always try to make their point by comparing the situation to something totally different?

How is that different? The suspect is the responsibility of the officer. The child is the responsibility of the adult
Would. Police officer ever have a valid excuse?
