Child reminder devices are revolutionizing parenting on the go
Child car seat safety is a top priority for parents. With constant distractions and the demands of everyday life, it can be difficult to keep an eye on everything, especially when you're on the move, in and out of the car. That’s where car seat alert systems come in, offering a smart, reliable solution that ensures your child’s safety on the go.
What are child reminder devices?
Child reminder devices, also known as car seat alert systems or anti abandonment devices, are smart tools designed to enhance car seat safety and protect your child from potential risks, such as heat strokes. These innovative devices provide real-time alerts, ensuring you’re always aware of your child’s safety. By adding an extra layer of protection, they offer parents peace of mind and confidence, even on the busiest days.To learn more about child reminder devices, check out our blog, the ultimate guide to child reminder devices for car seat safety.
How are child reminder devices changing parenting?
Designed with real-life parenting situations in mind, car seat alerts make everyday activities like grocery shopping, running errands, or going to the doctor easier for busy parents. Research shows that child reminder devices significantly reduce the risk of dangerous situations, such as leaving a child in a hot car, while also providing parents with greater convenience while traveling. As technology advances, car seat alerts are becoming a crucial tool for child car seat safety, helping caregivers navigate hectic moments with confidence.
Doona’s approach to child car seat safety
Doona’s commitment to safety is evident through our innovative anti abandonment cushion for cars, SensAlert. Focusing on child safety and parenting convenience, SensAlert’s unique technology makes it a leader in the field. Unlike most devices that rely on basic pressure sensors which can be falsely triggered by objects, SensAlert uses capacitive motion sensor technology to detect human presence. This ensures the cushion automatically switches to alert mode the moment your child is placed in the seat.
If you step away while your little one is still in the car, SensAlert initiates a three level car seat alert sequence after just three minutes, even if your phone is on silent. The system also notifies up to five emergency contacts in a sequence until one of the caregivers disables the alarm, ensuring your child is not left alone in the car. In case of no answer at the end of the first sequence of calls, the system will repeat the calls to the group of emergency contacts. The Doona app also features an automatic low battery alert, notifying caregivers when the device's battery is running low.

Cloud-based system
SensAlert seamlessly integrates with both Android and iOS smartphones, offering car seat alerts via calls and SMS notifications through an intelligent cloud-based system, independent of the app. Even if the caregiver’s smartphone experiences connectivity issues, SensAlert ensures that critical notifications reach both the caregiver and emergency contacts. Additionally, the device emits periodic sounds to remind caregivers to reactivate it if it’s accidentally turned off, maintaining uninterrupted safety and peace of mind.
Smartphone left behind alert
SensAlert’s newest feature alerts you if your smartphone is accidentally left in the car while your child is still on board. After 15 minutes, the system sends a warning notification, followed by a call to the caregiver’s smartphone. If the caregiver doesn’t deactivate the seat alert, the system escalates by notifying designated emergency contacts, continuing until one of the caregivers disables the alarm, ensuring your child’s safety is never overlooked.
Seamless installation
SensAlert is designed to fit most car seats for children of all ages. For boosters that do not have a belt buckle, you can still use SensAlert as a cushion. All you have to do is place SensAlert correctly on your child’s car seat, and connect it to your phone via the Doona App. It’s that simple!
