Abstract: A child safety seat and temperature warning system includes a child restraint including a seat and a backrest that is attached to and extends upwardly from the seat. A processor is mounted in the child restraint. A weight sensor is mounted within the seat and detects when a weight is positioned on the seat. A heat sensor is mounted in the child restraint and detects an ambient temperature adjacent to the child restraint. The weight sensor and the heat sensor are electrically coupled to the processor. A vehicle includes an alarm system that is in communication with the processor. The vehicle alarm system is turned on when the vehicle alarm system receives a warning signal. The warning signal is sent by the heat sensor to the processor when the weight sensor detects a weight and the heat sensor detects an unsuitable temperature which is greater than an upper threshold temperature.
