Sommerhitze im Auto: So bleibt dein Kind sicher

Summer heat in the car: How to keep your child safe

Summer heat in a car is easily underestimated – especially for babies and toddlers, whose bodies aren't yet able to adapt well to temperature changes. In our article, you'll learn why children are particularly at risk, what warning signs parents should be aware of, and what simple measures can help prevent overheating.

Family outings in the summer are the best – sunshine, ice cream breaks, and a good mood. But beware: Even during the ride, it can quickly get really hot in the car seat. This is pure stress for children – because their bodies are much more sensitive to heat than ours.

👉 The fact is: Children can't regulate their body temperature very well yet. Heat builds up in the seat, fluid loss occurs more quickly, and at around 40°C body temperature, it even becomes dangerous (circulatory problems, organ damage).
That’s why you should never underestimate the heat in your car!

Why heat in the car is so treacherous


A parked car can heat up to 50 to 70°C in the sun within minutes – even in moderate outdoor temperatures. Children should never be left unattended in a car – not for five minutes, not "just for a short time."


• Children sweat less efficiently than adults
• Just a few minutes of sun on the seat are enough to raise the temperature
• Fluid deficiency occurs much earlier
• Parents often notice overheating late


It is therefore important to keep an eye on your child's temperature, especially on longer journeys or during summer holidays.

Your smart companion: MARY by sticklett 🐞


This is where MARY comes into play:
• Continuous temperature measurement directly on your child's clothing
• Real-time display in the app – you can see immediately how your child is doing
• Warning in case of abnormalities – before it becomes critical
• Gentle & wireless – your child won’t notice


This way you are always one step ahead – and can react before your child appears restless or overheated.


Summer without worries 🌴


Imagine: You're riding relaxed in the front seat, your child sleeping in the back – and you still know at all times that everything is okay. That's exactly the feeling MARY gives you.
👉 For you this means: less stress, more security and a summer full of beautiful memories.
