The Cars-N-Kids Car
Seat Monitor has been developed to remind parents, by playing a lullaby,
that their child is still in the car seat when the vehicle stops;
additionally, it alerts parents when the child climbs out of his or her
car seat. The lullaby is programmed to only play when the child is
in their car seat and the vehicle has been still for at least five
seconds. A short alert sounds when the child climbs out of the
seat.
The Car Seat Monitor
installs into any car seat from infant to youth models and requires
three AAA batteries that are not included.

Throughout our testing period our
parents saw no breakdown in performance or effectiveness
of the Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor. Obviously,
batteries will wear out after time, but during our
evaluation there were no other durability concerns. |

The Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor
does exactly what it sets out to do - it makes noise!
The lullaby plays when a baby is in the seat and the car
has been still for at least five seconds, and the alert
sounds as soon as a baby is out of their seat.
Those are the two functions it packs - and those are the
two functions it performs. Our parents couldn't
ask for more! |

The Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor was
priced considerably higher than many of our parents had
expected. In a blind survey, our average pricing
came out around $25 - some parents guessed $20, some
guessed $30. With an actual retail price of
$39.95, the Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor came in quite a
bit higher. |

None of our parents had seen a child
safety tool quite like this. The Cars-N-Kids Car
Seat Monitor scored high across the board with our team
in the originality category. |

The Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor
is one of those safety devices that many parents
would think they do not need. The sad truth is
that it seems like there are more and more stories of
children being left in car seats every year
(according to Cars-N-Kids there have been 42 deaths
this year alone).
One simple installation and this awesome monitor and
you can kiss those worries goodbye. It is
priced a little higher than some of our parents
would have hoped, but they all agreed, they would
not spare any expense when it came to the safety of
their children. |
