An exhausted parent forgetting a Sleeping kid is in the car with them isn’t exactly a moral failing. The kind of people who want this device just want an added layer of protection for the one in a million shot.

I find it refreshing that this device can be made available. My kids are old enough that this isn't really an issue for me now, but I would have certainly paid for it. I've never locked my kids in a car but I can see how it happens. I always feared it. My wife and I made a habit of texting each other when we dropped the kids at daycare. Eventually our daycare instituted electronic check-ins so we'd get messages anyway.

Parents of young kids are exhausted. Kids fall asleep in car seats. Parents tend to get in a routine of one drops off, one picks up. I can see how you can intend to drop the kid at daycare and forget b/c 99% of the time you drive straight to work. It doesn't take shitty parenting for this to happen.
