Many of the things they buy are to prevent injury or death to their child.


Right, but they are to prevent injury or death that could happen at no fault of the parent.

From the things that hold cabinets closed, to the things that go in electrical outlets, to the stuff they put on corners of furniture, to the baby bath tubs, baby monitors, etc etc.


Those things are all designed to prevent injury or death as a result of accidents. There is no expectation by society that parents will have eyes on their children 24 hours a day. There is an expectation by society that parents will not forget their kids in their car.

That, IMO, is the difference between this device and an outlet cover. An outlet cover prevents accidents. This device prevents a kid dying from the parents negligence.

Fair enough. Agree to disagree. The one parent in this thread said exactly what i was suggesting. Would be curious to hear what others think.
