I’m surprised no one has come out with a baby monitor that would automatically call the parents’ cell phones in such situations—e.g., when a button on the monitor hasn’t been pushed within 20 minutes, or if the temperature rises above 80 degrees, etc. I hope I haven’t just given away a $1Billion idea.
AND IF YOU HAVE.... you will receive such an amazing amount of blessings that no money could buy!
I’d like to think this idea is in the works. It is excellent. Maybe you’ve got yourself a patent there.
I agree. There needs to be some kind of alarm system that sounds when the engine is turned off and there is weight in the car seat. It should beep loudly until the car seat is empty.
i guess now this is the newest parental accessory, but it’s a sad commentary
MMMmm Great idea!
Get your new Thermal Baby Monitor (registered trademark of packrat35) here. Only $39.99
” I hope I haven’t just given away a $1Billion idea.”
Seriously, you should jump on that and see if anyone has patented it.
That’s a good idea....I was actually discussing this problem with my boss the other day, and suggested that cars should be equipped with auto-ventilation sensors...if it gets to warm, fans turn on, or something to that effect. Since it’s hot, there’s obviously some sunlight around, so maybe a small solar cell to keep the battery from being drained. Just my two cents.
Anyways, it should be trivial for such senseless deaths to be avoided if the auto companies put a few engineers onto the project.
How about a personal beeper that goes off if the parent is ever separated from the child by a predetermined distance? Kid wears the transmitter, caretaker wears the receiver, if the signal strength drops below a certain level then the receiver beeps. Helps parents keep track of wandering kids, helps avoid the "forgotten child" problem, helps prevent child theft, clarifies who is responsible for the child (the person with the receiver is responsible), and so on.
