    Abstract: A safety system that reminds parents when their children are still strapped inside the car. The preferred system monitors the status of the driver's seatbelt buckle and the child's buckle, and includes at least two different alarms. The first alarm, which is not offending and can only be heard inside the Vehicle, is sounded after the driver unbuckles and the child remains buckled in the car. The second alarm, which is louder than the first and can be heard outside the vehicle, is sounded after a set amount of time has expired since the driver unbuckled, and yet the child remains buckled in the car. The second alarm is intended to draw the attention of members of the public, and on a hot day could save the child's life.
