Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett and other state officials 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.
The placards are designed to hang on the car mirror to serve as a reminder for drivers to always check their vehicles before they get out. Passersby who see a tag displayed from a vehicle’s mirror may also be prompted to check the vehicle and make sure no child has been left inside.
Tennesseans can get more information and request free hangtags online through the Secretary of State’s website.
