There are three easy things you need to remember about keeping children safe when it’s hot: Apply sunscreen regularly, give them plenty of drinks (ideally one every 15 minutes, even during swimming), and offer healthy, hydrating snacks like fresh fruit or cut-up veggies. That means before leaving on your vacation, you’ll want to invest in insulated water bottles for each member of your family and a travel cooler.
And here’s a bonus tip for road-trip stops – remember that you should never leave children alone in the car because the temperature inside will rise to dangerous levels quickly on a hot day.
