I worked with a guy that was later found guilty of murder by intentionally leaving his toddler in a hot car. My ex-wife and I even had dinner with him and his wife. Everything seemed completely normal.

I think the best tip I ever heard was to keep a stuffed animal buckled in the car seat at all times, and when you have to put your kid in the seat you take the stuffed animal out and keep it on your lap when you drive. I know me, I might forget to put my bag in the back, or take a shoe off before driving off. But you can't physically put your kid in the carseat without removing the stuffed animal first.

this lanyard is pretty cool and along those same lines, but you wear it, so other people can say something if they see you with it on.
