MARLTON, NJ, July 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On hectic and busy days, it can be very easy for adults to experience momentary confusion and lapses in judgment. Juggling the sometimes daunting demands of career and family, parents can be particularly susceptible to this, despite their best intentions and diligence. Rushing from work to collect children from school or day care, a parent may have to complete a plethora of other errands before finally reaching home, such as making a bank deposit or picking up a few items from the market for dinner. In a hurry, the parent may consider it safe to leave a child in the car while quickly dashing into an establishment, or they may be so harried that they leave the child behind without realizing they have done so.
Tragic Incidents/ Preventable Deaths: To date there have been twenty deaths in 2010 of children due to hyperthermia (heat stroke) from being in hot vehicles. Since 1998 there have been at least a total of 465 of these needless tragedies.
The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for reminding a driver of a car that a child, a pet and/or a valuable is in a parked car and, more particularly to providing a keyless remote entry device with at least one button which, when first pressed indicates that a child, a pet and/or a valuable is being placed in the car for transportation. Upon arrival at a destination the keyless remote entry device cannot be used to lock the car doors if the child, a pet and/or a valuable is still in the car after the car engine is turned off and the button first pressed has not been pressed a second time to alert the keyless remote entry device that the child, pet or valuable has been removed from the car. When the driver reaches his/her destination, parks the car and places the shift lever in the park position, the screen of the display monitor will visually and verbally remind the driver to remove who and/or what was placed into the car and should now be removed. The coordinated reminder safety system uses a keyless entry device and separate monitor to effectively remind the driver of a child, pet, and/or valuable.
