A vehicle occupancy alert device for alerting a vehicle operator to back seat occupancy includes housing that is configured to couple to a vehicle. A processor is coupled to and positioned in the housing. The processor is operationally coupled to the vehicle's 12 volt power supply, door sensors and speaker. A plurality of sensors is configured to couple to the back seats of the vehicle. The sensors are operationally coupled to the processor and the vehicle's 12 volt power supply. The plurality of sensors are positioned such that occupancy of one or more of the back seats will signal the processor to monitor the vehicle's door sensors upon the vehicle being turned off. Should the driver's door open and close, the processer will send a warning to the vehicle's speaker to alert the vehicle operator and others nearby.
