As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Child Carseat Alert System we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention. Interested parties can reach the attorney at the contact numbers listed at the bottom of this page.

The present invention provides an alert system to a child car seat that incorporates sensors, which are in communication with a vehicle electrical system. When an engine is stopped, the sensors signal a remote, which engages an indicator such as a tone. The indicator alerts any passengers in a vehicle that the engine is off and that a child remains in the child car seat. Thus, the indicator reduces the likelihood of inadvertently leaving a child in a vehicle unattended.

Objects of the present invention:

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism that reminds the driver of the vehicle that the vehicle has stopped and the child remains in the child car seat

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism whereby the child car seat includes sensors for determining the presence of a child in the car seat

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism that includes a mechanism for determining that the vehicle's engine is running

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism including a mechanism for communicating with the vehicle's electrical system the information regarding the on/off status of the engine

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism wherein the vehicle electrical system transmits a signal corresponding to the engine's on/off status for receipt by a remote unit

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism whereby the remote unit activates an indicator for informing a user that the child remains in the child car seat

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism wherein the indicator is positioned on an external or internal surface of the vehicle

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism whereby the passenger is alerted to a child exiting the child seat after the engine has started

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism that is simple and easy to use

  • to provide a child car seat alert mechanism inexpensive to manufacture and operate

The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
