SeatSentry is a vehicle-mounted alert system that detects children and pets left in cars and warns the people outside who can actually help.
If a parent is distracted, incapacitated, or has their phone on silent, those alerts go nowhere. The child stays in the car. The temperature keeps climbing. And the people who could help, the ones walking through the parking lot, have no idea.
of victims are age 3 or younger
of current alerts target the driver only
aftermarket products alert bystanders
Sensors monitor the cabin for occupant presence after the engine shuts off. Detects children, infants, and pets regardless of size or position.
Immediate notification to the driver via audible alarm and phone alert. The first line of defense, just like existing systems.
If the driver doesn't respond, SeatSentry escalates: exterior lights, loud external alarm, and a visible display warning passersby that a child or pet needs help.
The child presence detection market is booming, but it's all focused on new vehicles and driver alerts. The aftermarket bystander-alert space is wide open.
Every year, children die in parking lots where dozens of people walk past. Not because nobody cares, but because nobody knows. SeatSentry changes that. One alert to a stranger is all it takes.
