Who Forgets Children In Car?…Only Two Types Of People…

jtuerff — Sun, 27 Jul 2014 15:00:37 +0000

Here at SBT we’ve discovered after extensive research that there are only two types of people who accidentally forget a child in a car: Men and Women. If you fall in to either one of these camps, you are vulnerable. Read more about the problem at the link below. Then visit our website www.sbtsafety.com to learn how you can prevent such a tragedy from happening to you.

Dead Wrong…

…That is what you are if you think accidentally forgetting a child in a car is something that could never happen to you. Read this Pulitzer Prize winning article from Gene Weingarten. It is one of the best articles ever written on the parents who have made this horrific mistake. It clearly reveals that forgetting a child is a risk we all face and must take measures to prevent:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/27/AR2009022701549.html

Think of it this way: If you own a home, you know your house will probably never burn to the ground, as the chances are so remote. Yet you wouldn’t dream of not insuring it against the possibility, because as rare of an event as it is, it can still happen and the cost would be devastating.

Similarly, responsible parents probably won’t forget their child in a car but still need to insure themselves and their families against this risk, however remote it may be, because it can and does happen. And when it happens the cost is astronomical; the child’s life cannot be replaced.

For about the cost of a large cheeze pizza, families can insuren themselves against this risk by using the MyCue™ Streamer each and every time a child is being transported in a vehicle.

Child Passenger Safety High-Tech Solutions Unreliable

jtuerff — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:12:07 +0000

In 2012, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released the results of year-long study of several automated alarm systems designed to warn parents of a child left behind in a vehicle, and unfortunately found them to be unreliable. You can read more about the study at the following:

http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/31/products-designed-to-alert-parents-of-a-child-left-in-a-car-seat-found-to-be-unreliable/

Our position at SBT Safety Systems has always been that non-tech solutions are best. We believe that introducing yet another high-tech device in the driving environment is a bad idea because it adds another source of potential distraction, which could increase risk to both child and the parent caregiver. Non-tech solutions also keep responsibility where it belongs: with the parent/caregiver!

Our MyCue® Streamer is a unique non-tech solution that is completely integrated with the driver and caregiver experience. The parent removes the Streamer from the car seat and attaches the device to their key chain or smart key fob when the child is placed in the vehicle. Once the destination has been reached, return the Streamer to the receiver on the car seat as the child is retrieved from the vehicle.

A commonly recommended driver reminder method that is less integrated and more passive is putting a teddy bear in the front passenger seat as a reminder whenever transporting a child. This method is used successfully by many people. However, should a parent become so distracted that they begin to step away from the vehicle with keys in hand in a moment of forgetfulness, the MyCue® Streamer is still with the parent and able to remind them the child is still in the vehicle. On the contrary, the bear would be out of sight, still in the vehicle with the child, and no longer an effective reminder device.
