Abstract:
1. A device for providing notice that a child is in a child safety seat in a vehicle comprising: a pressure sensor; an accelerometer; a notification system; and a controller; wherein if said pressure sensor detects pressure in said child safety seat and said accelerometer does not detect acceleration indicative of a physical displacement of said vehicle, said controller activates said notification system; wherein once said notification system is activated, said controller waits a preselected amount of time and if after said time has passed, said pressure sensor detects pressure in said child safety seat and said accelerometer does not detect acceleration indicative of a physical displacement of said vehicle, said controller activates said notification system a second time and with a different notification; and wherein once said notification system is activated said second time said controller again waits a preselected amount of time and if after said time has passed, said pressure sensor detects pressure in said child safety seat and said accelerometer does not detect acceleration indicative of a physical displacement of said vehicle, said controller activates said notification system a third time and with a different notification.
