Never Forget Your Child Again – Baby’s Alert Child Minder

Wacky — 24 February 2006

I had no idea, but apparently over 213 deaths were reported last year in the US as a result of parents forgetting their children in the car. Thanks to a new gadget called the Baby’s Alert Child Minder parents can help curb toddler backseat deaths. The device works by installing the “active buckle�? to the child’s seat belt, and attaching the monitoring device to the car key’s ring. Walk 20’ or more beyond the active buckle when it’s still fastened, and the monitor emits a nursery rhyme reminding the neglectful parental unit.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

The Child Minder is definitely a blessing for all parents and babies/etc. I am sure that no parents intention is to leave their babies/baby in the car but sometimes the worst happens to the best of US. This is why we have fire alarms, car alarms, house protection and etc why what is most precious to US. Good luck parents and take advantage of a useful product.

The weather is becoming hotter each year and we need to be more proactive and realize the problem will not go away, but increase as the demands of our lives increase. Child ‘Minder is the only solution that does not demand a caregiver’s daily attention. We have a headlight reminder integrated in our car system to help us not to leave our lights on. How much more important is a life reminder to help us not to forget our child.

This safety device has multiple functions. Portable and convenient for the purse or pocket; transferable for the use of infant seat, stroller, and/or carseat; and reasonably priced. When the other parent who rarely drops their child off at the childcare provider or daycare it is very easy for them to forget their child in the rear seat when it is not a habitual task. We seem to be hearing more news about missing children and this new technology seems appropriate for this solution. Having your child in the infant seat with this device on their shoulder straps can eliminate anyone trying to stroll your child down the aisle and out the door. This would be a wonderful gift on any GIFT REGISTRY……….YOU WILL BE SAVING SOMEONES PRECIOUS LITTLE BUNDLE.
