Mothers should buckle their purse to the child's safety seat. No woman gets out the car without their purse. I know a girl who works with me that leaves her work badge attached to the baby seat. She cannot come in the building without it. So many things they can do.

Exactly! Very simple. People blame this on the "nanny state" in one breath, then the next they are demanding that this problem be fixed with beepers, cell phones, and text messages. Of course, they'd probably want those features mandated by the same "nanny state" they claim to hate. How about some personal responsibility! It's not the job of the "nanny state" to remind you that you have a baby in the backseat, and it's not the job of car manufacturers and cell phone companies! Doing something as simple as attaching your purse to the child's seat (or whatever works for YOU) is far better than anything big gubmint or business can come up with.

Very, very good idea!

No woman gets out the car without their purse.

And no "mother" forgets her 5 month old.

WHOA!

THOSE are both EXCELLENT ideas - an they should be printed, shouted, mailed, on TV - so that EVERYONE can get the idea!

That is a really good idea, thank you. I'm not a parent yet, but have two God kids. I'm going to mention this to my friend when I see her tomorrow.

I am not all the way through this thread...but you are the first person to suggest real-life solutions!

I hope someone gets the word out! In fact, I'm going to send your suggestions to the local TV station.
