Child Minder Car Seat Safety System
By Greta on Aug 2, 2008 in Health and Safety, Travel Gear
Every year, I read stories about children who die because they were accidentally left in a car. It is one of my biggest fears as a parent. I even dream about it on a regular basis. I just know that it is all too easy to deviate from your routine and make a mistake.
When my younger daughter was an infant, I started looking for products that could help prevent this. I found all kinds of articles about ideas, patents, etc, but no actual devices. After a discussion with a friend about this fear yesterday, I started looking again, and discovered that one of these devices has actually made it to the market.
The Child Minder system works with a clip that attaches to the car seat straps. Another device attaches to your key chain, and an alarm sounds if you leave the vehicle without unsnapping the car seat sensor. A slightly different version works with a pad under the seat itself.
I will definitely be buying one of these for my toddler and the new baby. The price of $49.95 is such a small price to pay for a little extra peace of mind. You can buy one at babyalert.info.
