Every automobile should be equipped with an alarm - much like the buzzer that reminds you your headlights are on - when you turn the engine off.

Retrofits for older models.

Before allowing parents to take a newborn out of the maternity hospital - they should be required to prove they have a ‘safe’ vehicle for transporting the child.

Sounds like over regulation - but the hyperthermia/auto death of one child is one too many.

It IS over regulation——we are drowning in nanny state laws.

“”””Every automobile should be equipped with an alarm...””””

Exactly how would you accomplish that?

So even though the vast majority of people have no use for such an alarm everyone who buys a new car will have to pay for that alarm.

Even though the vast majority of people that such an alarm would useful to have would never be prompted to action by the alarm, everyone will have to pay for that alarm.

This is the same type of thinking that gave use ObamaCare plans with birth control coverage for Seniors and Single males.

If you think this is a good and useful product, invent it, market it and maybe somebody will buy it.

But for those of us that value freedom please don’t suggest that the government mandate it’s use.

I don’t want to pay another for a product that I will never want or use because some do-gooder thinks that if it “Saves one life it’s worth it”.

NO ! Parents should have a brain. You don't put Christmas lights in the bathtub either.

You can't regulate for every idiot in the world.
