excessive exposure to extreme heat or cold

If children open a door, they could injure other
persons or get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following traffic.

direct sunlight. The child restraint system's
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and the child could be burned by these
parts.
