Tips for Preventing Heat-Related Illnesses It's great to get outdoors during the summer, but it's important to stay safe in the sun. Don´t let the heat ruin your family fun. Follow these tips to prevent heat-related health issues: Never cover your baby's stroller with a blanket. It may block the sun, but even a thin blanket can stop air circulation and cause the interior of the stroller to overheat. Never leave a child in a parked car. Vehicles can quickly heat up to dangerous temperatures, even with a window cracked open. Keep your children hydrated when they're playing outside, don't wait until they're thirsty.
