What longer-term implications and systemic changes could reduce the number of child car accident deaths and injuries?

To mitigate the risk, parents should dress children in thin layers, use blankets over tightened straps, and avoid thick hats. Babies under one should have car rides limited to two hours due to the risk of breathing difficulties if they sleep in a seated position for too long. Regular checks on baby's body temperature should be done to ensure they are not overheating, which is a risk factor for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
