So, somebody has finally invented the carseat that will alert you if you leave the kid in it.

You and twelve of your nearest and dearest, via text message. All they need now is to add a blaring alarm in the car itself and I think they've got a winner!

(But is the design better than a Britax?)

I am dubious about the value of blaring alarms coming from cars. It seems like they reached saturation years ago and everybody just ignores them now. But a gadget the sends text messages to everybody in the family is brilliant. I hope the price comes down soon.

Have you ever read the Washington Post article about kids being left in cars? It's a very interesting article - apart from accounts of it happening, it goes into why these sorts of carseats have never made it to market before.

Yes, I have. Terrifying!
