Скачать или смотреть A Sleeping Child, a Missed Turn: One Family’s Hot Car Loss

In this powerful and honest video, Reggie McKinnon shares the story of his daughter, Peyton Lynn McKinnon, who died after being left in a hot car.

Reggie walks viewers through the ordinary moments of that day—a routine medical appointment, a sleeping toddler, a missed turn—showing how quickly and silently vehicular heatstroke can occur. His story underscores a critical truth: these tragedies are not about negligence, background, or intent. They can happen to anyone.

In the aftermath of unimaginable loss, Reggie searched for answers, support, and understanding. Through Kids and Car Safety, he found not only education and prevention tools, but a community that understands the complex grief, isolation, and questions families face after a hot car tragedy.

Today, Reggie speaks out to honor Peyton’s memory and to help protect other children. His message is clear: awareness, reminders, and support save lives—and no family should have to navigate this kind of loss alone.

Vehicular heatstroke is preventable. One life saved makes the advocacy worth it.
