The vehicle child safety alert system comprises a seat sensor and an alarm fob. The seat sensor is installed in a child safety seat in order to detect a passenger. When a passenger is detected in the child safety seat the seat sensor queries the GPS for the GPS coordinates of the seat sensor. The GPS coordinates of the location of the seat sensor are wirelessly transmitted to the alarm fob. The alarm fob receives the GPS coordinates of the location of the seat sensor and compares the GPS coordinates of the location of the seat sensor to the GPS coordinates of the location of the alarm fob. If the distance between the GPS coordinates of the location of the seat sensor and the GPS coordinates of the location of the alarm fob is greater than a maximum allowable distance the alarm fob generates an alarm.
