New Car Seat Will Save Babies Lives
This new car seat hopes to prevent the tragedies of babies being forgotten in hot vehicles and suffering heatstroke. Nearly 40 kids die annually (1 child every 9 days) from being left behind in hot cars according to kidsandcars.org. With this new technology, hopefully that will be a thing of the past.
This new car seat technology works with the cars on board diagnostic system and alerts the driver that a baby is inside the car when the car is shut off with a series of tones.
Walmart has signed an exclusive, one-year deal with Evenflo to sell the Evenflo Embrace DLX Infant Car Seat for $149. According to the Evenflo website this new technology works with 2008 or newer gas/diesel equipped vehicles purchased in the U.S. or Canada. The SensorSafe™ system will also alert the driver within 30 seconds of the chest clip being unbuckled while driving.
