When we are parents, we have many fears. And among them is to forget a child in the back seat of a car. If you think it only happens to others, there are still enough cases to prove that it can happen to anyone. A moment of inattention, irritation or simply oversight, and the worst can happen. to THE UNITED STATES for example, it affects approximately forty children each year. With more or less serious consequences depending on the situation. Something to worry about and scandalize some parents who think it can’t happen to them.

A smart accessory
But now this disaster has been significantly reduced thanks to the invention of a nine-year-old girl. Sophie Rapson, a fifth-grader from the United States, had a brilliant and at the same time very simple idea to protect children. An invention created as part of a project implemented at his school. And the principle is very simple, as it is just a cord connected on one side to children’s chair and on the other to the car keys. Thus, there is no longer the risk of going to work leaving the child, with all the risks that entails.

Everyone is worried
According to some studies, leaving a child in the back seat of the car can be caused by many factors, such as stress. You can also forget about your child, since visiting the nursery is usually not part of the morning routine. In most cases, however, it is not an act of voluntary abuse, and anyone can suffer from this problem at some point, which can have dramatic consequences.
