Device Reminds Absent Minded Parents that Baby's in the Back Seat

A product unveiled at CES 2015 at Las Vegas is for moms and dads that want to protect their babies at all times, especially when they're out and about driving.

A company called Voxx introduced a car accessory called Baby on Board that allows a parent to place a weight-sensing module underneath his child's baby seat.

The module automatically alerts a parent via a Bluetooth connection to a key fob about the child's presence in the car should the parent inadvertently leave the child behind.

Voxx CEO Tom Malone said Baby on Board is a great investment priced at just US$59.95.

"We believe this simple, affordable and easy to use solution will help bring peace of mind to parents and caregivers," he said.

According to a non-profit group called Kids and Cars, at least 38 children die annually from being left inside vehicles. Back in 2013, 44 children died from being left unattended in vehicles.
