How can we so easily forget they're in the backseat? I will never ever understand it. Never. 
Weren't they working on some kind of invention to use in a child safety seat that worked by feeling the weight of a child, or something? I thought they've been working on solving this problem for awhile now? You'd think with a country filled with smart inventive minds, something would be available for everyone.
I cannot believe this ie where we are. Needing a device to remind parents their children are there.
