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 summer are the best – sunshine, ice cream breaks, good times. But beware: even during the journey, it can get really hot in a child car seat. For children, this means pure stress – because their bodies are much more sensitive to heat than ours.

👉 Fact is: Children cannot regulate their body temperature very well. Heat builds up in the seat, fluid loss occurs more quickly, and above approximately 40°C body temperature it even becomes dangerous (circulatory problems, organ damage).
Therefore: Never underestimate the heat inside a car!

Why heat in a car is so treacherous


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


• Children sweat less efficiently than adults.
• Even just a few minutes of sun exposure on the seat is enough to cause a temperature increase.
• Dehydration occurs much earlier
• Parents often only notice overheating late


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