This product could prevent one of the most tragic causes of babies' deaths. Industry experts report that 40 children die every year from being left in a hot car, according to the New York Post.
The car seat can also alert a driver if the baby's car seat becomes unbuckled for any reason during transit with its sensor technology. Tones will sound within 30 seconds of the clip being unbuckled. The receiver plug can be connected to multiple chest clips for adults transporting more than one infant. Wal-MartThe wireless receiver is synched with the chest clip on the Evenflo car seat."There are millions of cars in our parking lots every day and we put a challenge out to the industry. Evenflo stepped up with a first-of its kind product aimed at vehicular heat stroke," said Diana Marshall, vice president for baby at Walmart, to the New York Post. The seat fits infants 4-35 lbs, or up to 30" in height, according toEvenflo.
Customers also don't need to worry about potential effects of the transmitter signal on infants."It transmits an extremely brief, very low power signal no stronger than your car's keyless remote entry. The transmissions are so brief that total transmission time in 2 hours of driving is less than one second," according toEvenflo.One potential drawback for some customers might be the fact that the SensorSafe receiver plug is only compatible with 2008 or newer gas/diesel equipped vehicles purchased in the U.S. or Canada.As of now the product is completely sold out at Wal-Mart; however, users can sign up for product alert emails on Evenflo to receive updates on future availability.
