PITTSBURGH, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a vehicle system that would automatically detect if a child were left behind in a parked car," said an inventor, from Irmo, S.C., "so I invented the BACK SEAT OCCUPANT DECTECTION (BSOD). My attention-getting design would alert the driver so they can immediately retrieve the child."

The patent-pending invention provides an effective reminder for a parent to remove a small child from a vehicle upon parking. In doing so, it prevents the child from being left behind. As a result, it increases safety. It also provides added peace of mind. The invention features an automatic design that is easy to use so it is ideal for vehicle owners, especially those with young children. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
