The present invention provides a way to alert the driver when a child is left unattended in the car seat. The invention uses short-range wireless technology (eg Bluetooth) to trigger an alarm when the paired device goes beyond a defined perimeter. The paired device is a key FOB or a smartphone application. The invention has two sides. Each side is attached to the two buckle inserts of the standard car seat belt harness. Closure of the buckle causes both sides of the invention to make contact, which turns on/arms the invention. When armed, and the paired device goes beyond a defined range i.e. the driver walks away from the car, an alert on the paired device will be activated.
