Tennessee state leaders are urging parents and caregivers to utilize the free ‘Baby in the Back’ car hangtag program to help reduce heat-related illnesses and deaths in children during the summer months.
These serve as a reminder for drivers to always check their vehicles before locking them on hot days. Passersby who see a tag displayed from a vehicle’s mirror may also be prompted to check the vehicle and ensure no child has been left inside.
Tennesseans can request free hangtags online through the Secretary of State’s office by visiting sos.tn.gov/requesthangtags.
