According to kidsandcars.org since 1990 more than 900 children have died in hot cars in the U.S. Yearly, 38 kids die on average. There are many studies attempting to explain this traumatic and heartbreaking phenomenon which leaves a lifelong scar and mark for those who have experienced such a painful tragedy. The fact is we are living in a fast-paced time where we are bombarded with many distractions and unexpected stresses. For parents of newborns, there is also the sudden adaptation of what is called “prospective memory” which involves the intent to try and remember to complete tasks out of your ordinary routine which may lead to forgetting your child in a car. Today, there is a practical solution and answer to preventing the devastation of losing a child or pet due to unintentionally leaving one behind in a hot car or frozen car. Introducing the SAFE SEAT app. For years the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has encouraged you to remember: Park.Look.Lock. The SAFE SEAT app is a practical and easy to use audio and visual alert system which further reminds you to check your backseat before you exit your vehicle. Reminder systems do exist in the market today but most require some external piece of hardware and are unaffordable for many. SAFE SEAT exists right at your fingertips via Bluetooth GPS locator. Once you parked a written notification and sound will alert you to check your backseat. For peace of mind, you can set interval alarms ranging from 1 to 5 minutes. All you need to do is sign up via email or a popular social media site such as Facebook, register your name and location and SAFE SEAT is there. SAFE SEAT is the creation of aspiring children’s book author and mother of a toddler, Sadie Quinn. She states, “After becoming a first-time mom I began noticing article after article about babies being left in cars and dying. I could not imagine that happening to me and my child. After searching the marketplace I could not find an app that could help me. I created Safe Seat to fill that need and bring peace of mind to those that use it.” Download SAFE SEAT today for a 60-day free trial period on Android.
