    A solution to children being left and forgotten in their car seats while parents/guardians take a brief step away from the vehicle with the intent of returning shortly. The Smart Seat uses a temperature sensor to keep track of the interior temperature of the vehicle, an occupancy sensor to detect front seat presence for childcare, 2 force sensitive resistors (FSR) to detect child presence in the car seat, and a strobe light to alert the public when limits have been exceeded that a child has been left unattended. A raspberry pi is used as the brains of the operation. It has a feature to send text messages to the owner’s cell phone regarding child safety and to alert authorities.
