As summer arrives and temperatures continue to rise to their highest, the danger of leaving children in hot vehicles only grows. Ekart Automotive wants to remind you, that no matter how long one is gone, it is never okay to leave a kid in a vehicle.

In just 30 minutes after leaving the car, the inside can reach over 100 degrees—the ideal temperature to cause a heat stroke. Even opening the windows doesn’t allow enough air inside the vehicle. In order to ensure the safety of your children, do not leave them in a vehicle under any circumstances. Also remember to keep an eye out for your fur babies as well—pets fall victim to hot cars just as easy. For all your automotive needs, call or stop by Ekart Automotive in Manhattan, KS today.
