    Keeping Kids Safe

    You might think it would be impossible to forget that you have left your car with a child in the back seat, exposed to temperatures which could hit 140 degrees, but the founder of Kids and Cars, an organization which tracks child deaths in cars, said it happens more than most people realize.

    One device that could possibly save a life: The Child Minder system replaces the car seat's harness clip with a "smart clip" synchronized to a key ring alarm. The unit is activated when the child is buckled in. As long as the child remains in the seat, an alarm will sound if the adult walks more than 10 feet from the automobile.
