【注意高溫】不要為擋太陽而把嬰兒車密封
⭐不通風環境容易造成中暑
⭐要不時查看嬰幼兒狀況

小心嬰幼兒熱過頭
胡太：「天氣炎熱，但不少人在嬰兒車上加擋雨罩，相信是為了防疫，這做法恰當嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：嬰幼兒體溫比成人高，其新陳代謝也快，故產生熱量多，但相對高溫耐受能力卻低，所以在夏天容易有「熱過頭」的情況。嬰兒車裡的嬰幼兒較接近吸熱的地面，如果還加上不透氣的擋雨罩，恐怕防疫不成而容易中暑！
夏天外出時要注意高溫對嬰幼兒的影響，留意他們有否臉色發紅、皮膚發紅發熱、呼吸加速、煩躁不安甚至哭鬧、食慾不振、活動力下降等情況，這些都是中暑症狀。外出時盡量選擇有遮蓋的地方行走，嬰兒車要保持通風，甚至加裝安全的小風扇、冰涼坐墊有助散熱；選擇純棉吸汗的衣物，多準備毛巾抹汗，並且適時補充水份，以防體溫過高。

Watch out for toddlers’ temperature
“Many people install a rain cover in front of the stroller. I believe it is a preventive measure against the COVID-19. Should they be doing this during the hot summer season?”
CheckCheckCin: Toddlers normally would have higher body temperatures than that of the adults, as their metabolism rate is higher and they give out heat. However, their tolerance toward heat is also relatively lower, and toddlers might experience heat exhaustion more easily.
Toddlers inside strollers can feel the heat from below as they are closer to the ground. The rain cover, instead of protecting the toddlers, traps hot air within the stroller and cause the little ones to suffer!
When travelling out during summer, do take note of the toddlers to see if the high temperature affects them. If they start breathing heavily and throwing tantrums, experience appetite loss, become inactive, and their skin and cheeks turn red, there is a possibility they are having a heat stroke.
Try to walk under the shade, and make sure there is proper ventilation in the stroller. If need be, install a mini fan to promote airflow within the confined space. Adding a cooling pad in the stroller can also help dissipate heat. Put toddlers in pure cotton clothes as they are sweat absorbent, and prepare an extra towel to wipe the sweat off their face. Remember to hydrate their body by giving them water to drink from time to time, as this can help lower their body temperature.
