An occupancy alerting device for warning a driver of a child occupant in a vehicle includes a housing that is configured to be positioned in a passenger compartment of a vehicle by a driver who is transporting a child. A power module, a microprocessor, and a detector are coupled to the housing and are positioned in an interior space defined by the housing. A speaker is coupled to the housing. The microprocessor is operationally coupled to the power module, the detector, and the speaker. The detector is motion type and thus is configured to detect motion of the vehicle. The microprocessor is positioned to selectively actuate the speaker, based on a motion status of the vehicle, to broadcast an occupancy alert to an area proximate to the housing to alert the driver to the child in the vehicle.
