CarSeat CoPilot Automatic Alert System Keeps your Child Safe

The CarSeat CoPilot Automatic Alert System is a patented technology device, designed to assist parents and caregivers in remembering their most prized possession in the backseat. The seat belt clip sensor attaches to the straps of your child’s car seat, transmitting a signal that triggers the alarm sound with the key fob (included), when separated by more than 10 feet. The CoPilot purposely does not rely on a smartphone app, cellular data coverage, BluetoothTM technology, or WiFi connectivity, indicating that it should work at all times.

CarSeat CoPilot Automatic Alert System (MSRP: $49.95)

Features:

• PATENTED TECHNOLOGY: It is a patented use of radio wave communication for this product. The CoPilot purposely does not rely on a smartphone app cellular data coverage, BluetoothTM technology, or WiFi connectivity, indicating that it should work at all times. 
• HOW IT WORKS: The CoPilot is a seat belt clip sensor that attaches to the straps of your infant/car seat, transmitting a signal that triggers the alarm sound with the key fob (included), when separated by more than 10 feet. 
• WHY YOU NEED IT: At least 52 children have died in unattended cars so far this year, making it the second-worst year in history, and with the holiday madness coming up, it can continue to happen because no parent thinks it can happen to them.  

My Thoughts

It will never happen to me. That is the type of stuff that happens to other people. We have all thought that at some point. I have literally had that conversation with my husband about falling asleep at the wheel. "Do you think anyone this has ever happened to thought it would happen to them?" This, after the umpteenth time he told me he was fine. These are the kinds of things we do no prepare for that we easily could. Why would we not use something so simple to protect our children from the simplest mistakes or oversights we as parents can make? That is what the CarSeat CoPilot Automatic Pilot System keeps from happening. It is super easy to install. It goes over the already existent straps of the car seat and sits below the chest clip at the top.
It comes with two key fobs, one for each parent. If the key fob and the CoPilot are separated by more than ten feet while it is still "clipped," then the alarm will sound on the key fob. I know I have a four week old right now, and sleep deprivation can play some serious tricks with your mind. 55% of kids that were injured in the car, the parent or caregiver forgot they were in the car. The other thing that I really like about is it does not require wifi or bluetooth. EVERYTHING requires bluetooth or wifi these days, so it is nice to have something that doesn't. It come with really easy to install directions. It comes with two micro usb cables to recharge it. You can recharge it in your home or in your car if you have a usb port. This is peace of mind you hope to never have to use, but can save the most important thing in your life if you do have a potentially life threatening slip of the mind.

How often do you think about your spare tire?  Probably never, right?  And why should you? You have too many other things to worry about.

Picture this: You're stuck on the side of a busy highway with a flat.  You have kids in the car. Vehicles are whizzing by at 70 mph and roadside assistance is still an hour away.  So you go to change the tire yourself and the spare is flat. Now what?!

My Thoughts:

Nothing is as scary as being in the middle of a trip or drive and all of a sudden you have a flat tire. Very few take into consideration what they would do if this scary ordeal hit them. Of course you could always call someone, but waiting for a tow truck (especially in an area you are unfamiliar with) can take forever and be expensive. That is where Slime comes in with their must have Flat Tire Repair Kit. Not only does it have everything you need right in the kit, but the process only takes 10 minutes and there is no need for a jack or tools!

Slimes quick four step system will have you and your loved ones back on the road in no time. Firstly, a mix of sealant and air are fired into your tires. This will not only seal any damage (up to 1/4''-6mm), but repair the tire as well. The repair will last up to 500 miles, allowing you to get to a safe spot or home. The kit includes the non-toxic/non corrosive and environmentally friendly 15.2 oz slime tire sealant (TMPS safe) and a dial display gauge so you can monitor the tires pressure as you inflate. In case you put an overabundance or air in, no worries. Slime has a deflate button right on the kit as well.

Help ensure the safety of you and your family with Slime's Next Generation Flat Tire Repair Kits!

Child and Tween Car Safety #KidsBuckleUp

My oldest daughter just got her permit, so I've been thinking about vehicle safety more then after. Every 33 seconds a child under 13 is involved in a car crash in the United States. For younger children, car seats can dramatically reduce the risk of fatality or injury – but over half of car seats are either installed or used incorrectly. For older children, buckling up is critical. A full 50% of children age 8-14 who were killed in car crashes from 2011-2015 were not restrained.

That’s why we want parents and caregivers to know about the importance of making sure their child is safely restrained—whether that’s selecting the right car seat for their child’s age and size, or making sure that older kids (8-14) always buckle their seat belts and sit in the backseat.

As parents, we all want to do the right thing to keep our children safe and sound.  This spring, the Ad Council and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are unveiling new PSAs to address these important issues.  First, is the up to date car seat safety information like the tips found in the fun new video series “The Wide World of Car Seats.”

 When my teen daughter starts driving her siblings around, I want to be certain she understands the importance of booster seats and seat belts.

The right car seat can make all the difference in a motor vehicle crash. And car crashes are a leading cause of death for children 1 to 13 years old.  But despite their best intentions, many parents may not realize their child isn’t in the right seat.  For example, many parents move their children to the next restraint type (car seat, booster seat, seat belt) too soon. To make sure you have the right seat for your child, visit SaferCar.gov/TheRightSeat.

And just when you think you’ve got this parenting thing down, your child becomes a “tween” and you enter a whole new world.  To help with travel safety, the Ad Council and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are unveiling new PSAs featuring characters from Fox’s upcoming summer road trip adventure Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul. The PSAs remind parents and caregivers that even if kids argue and plead, parents should stand firm and always insist that their kids buckle up and sit in the back seat (the safest place for kids under the age of 13). My kids love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Watching the PSAs together is a great way to remind them to buckle up safely, just like some of their favorite characters.

Per data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 69,000 tweens are injured every year in car crashes and 61% of 14-year-old children killed in 2015 car crashes were unrestrained at the time of the crash.  Even though life as a parent is full of compromises, seat belt safety should never be up for negotiation. That’s why the new PSAs encourage us to: “Never give up until they buckle up!”
