Device will let you know if your child's left in car

A Dallas based company has created a device designed to help parents not leave their children in a vehicle.

Baby Alert International said there are about 35 hot car deaths a year in the United States and that is the reason why the company invented the Child Minder System. "Some people say, how could a parent forget a child in the car, but I know it's so easy," said Jocelyn Spears of Baby Alert International.



"All of our lives are so busy, we get distracted and we forget something. It's just as simple as forgetting to buy milk at the grocery store."

With the Child Minder System a smart pad and controller box is placed in the child's car seat. The child's weight activates the system then and if the parent turns off the car and walks away the key ring alarm unit alerts the parents the child is still inside. "It's just a constant beep like a truck backing up," Spears said.
