FORGET ME NOT USA

The 4x4 double-sided FORGET ME NOT sticker is placed on the driver's side window, above the door lock where it will be seen upon exiting and entering the vehicle. The sticker can be placed on any vehicle window as long as it does not impair the driver's vision.

We all wonder, what kind of a person could let this happen? Ask yourself this question. Have I ever driven from point A to point Z and not remembered the drive? I don't remember turning left on Main Street, or stopping at the red light on 4th Street. But I must have. I arrived at my destination safely, didn't I? Scary isn't it? If you haven't had this experience, you are fortunate. If you have, it might help put into perspective how busy our lives are and how these tragedies can and do occur.

Although the FORGET ME NOT Sticker and Magnet were designed primarily for use on automobiles, they can be used anywhere as a personal reminder. For example, a FORGET ME NOT sticker can be placed on the entry and exit doors of your place of business as a reminder for customers and employees. The sticker can also be posted on your front and back door at home so it is the first thing you see as you start your day. Place the Sticker and magnet anywhere they will trigger your memory and help you avoid the unthinkable.

The FORGET ME NOT Auto Window Sticker and Magnet is the first line of defense in giving parents, grandparents and all caregivers (daycare workers, school bus drivers) a visual reminder to "NEVER LEAVE A CHILD ALONE IN A VEHICLE FOR ANY REASON".
