Maybe this would happen less if the parents treated their children like their kids instead of an accessory.

Baby In Hot Car Reminder DevicesSoooo, it wasn't their fault. Why, no one REMINDED them of thewir child in the car.
Do they need a BABY NEEDS FOOD reminder, too? Where does it end?

It’s a neat idea, but I believe that most of the people who would do such a thing will never buy this device.

Sad comment on our society when a parent has to be reminded their child is in the car.

I agree, I cannot understand how this happens. I think the devices are good if parents want to pay for them. I wonder if it will soon be a govt mandate for all car buyers though.

If the Safety Nazis had not required airbags and forced parents into putting infants in the back seat, parents would not ferget they were in the car. I would be willing to bet that fewer than 26 babies ever died from being in the front seat of a car before airbags were required. When I had my first child I would often put him in the front seat for short trips. I never forgot about him!

Side note - With three kids, none of mine were ever forgotten in the car. Once two got locked in at that was pure excitement for about five minutes.

Would parents need an alert device to change the diapers, too?
Good Lord, what idiocy.

Solar car vents keep you cool
With the school year winding down, parents look ahead to plenty of hot summer days out on the road with the kids in the car. Just how hot those days can be may not hit you until you open the door of a car that's been baking for hours in a parking lot. The fun really starts when the little ones have to get in.

An outside view of Susita's TO-230
In these fuel-conscious times, when consumers may think twice before cranking the AC, one alternative is a solar car ventilator. Susita makes a model called the TO-230. It's basically a small fan weighing 1-1/2 pounds that goes on top of a car window, with a solar panel facing outward.
The solar panel, which is 5 inches by 4.5 inches, powers the fan, which exchanges hot air inside the car for the presumably cooler air outside. If you park in the shade and want to use the fan, there's a plug-in adapter for the car. One retail Web site says the fan can reduce your parked car's interior temperature by 25 degrees, though that's not much solace considering another Web site cited 160 to 180 degree temps inside a parked car on a sunny day.
Pricing varies online. Digital Kitchen lists the fan for $34.95 in its "Dads & Grads" sale, down from $49.95. Carol Wright gifts carries solar fans for $29.99. AmeriMark listed them for $14.99. Or try your luck bidding on eBay.

Marketing this device looks to me like a wonderful opportunity to get sued.

"I would be willing to bet that fewer than 26 babies ever died from being in the front seat of a car before airbags were required." But...but that was before global warming so car interiors stayed cooler back then!

I talked to a tow truck driver who had to respond to a call of a kid locked in a car. He spent about 30 minutes trying to get in because the kid kept pushing the locking mechanism back down.....

“Side note - With three kids, none of mine were ever forgotten in the car. Once two got locked in at that was pure excitement for about five minutes.”
There was a recent story of a 4 YO who died after she went outside and locked herself in a car and couldn’t get out. You were lucky.
