A vehicle occupant and seatbelt usage indicating system includes a vehicle with a plurality of seats each including a seatbelt assembly with an engagement sensor to detect usage. Each of the seats has one of a plurality of occupant sensors therein. A processor is mounted in the vehicle. Each of the occupant sensors and each of the engagement sensors are electrically coupled to the processor. The engagement sensors are each associated with one of the occupant sensors to define a paired sensor indicating occupancy and seatbelt assembly usage for each corresponding one of the seats. An external display is mounted to the vehicle and is directed outwardly and rearwardly of the vehicle. The external display is electrically coupled to the processor and is configured to indicate which of the seats are occupied and which of the seatbelt assemblies includes an engaged buckle.
