An adjustable vehicle seat attachment system is provided. Rather than having child seats placed in fixed adult seats of a vehicle, child seats may be connected directly to the vehicle. Moreover, the anchors that the child seats connect to may be moved around an interior space of the vehicle so that the child seat may be placed in different locations throughout the vehicle interior. The child seats may be anchored to different spots along a floor of a vehicle. The child seats maybe anchored to different spots along an interior ceiling of a vehicle.

A system is described herein. The system includes at least a computing device and an occupation device. The computing device includes an engine and a graphical user interface (GUI). The occupation deice is affixed to a car seat in a vehicle. The occupation device is configured to determine a presence or an absence of a child in the car seat. Specifically, the occupation device includes electrical components and a laser component comprising at least a laser beam that exits a body component of the occupation device at a location. When the laser beam is uninterrupted, the electrical components are configured to transmit a first alert to the engine of the computing device for display to a user via the GUI. When the laser beam is interrupted, the electrical components are configured to transmit a second alert to the engine of the computing device for display to the user via the GUI.

A radar sensor system and method for ascertaining whether an unattended child is present within an automotive vehicle. The radar sensor system carries out the method and includes a transmitter, at least one sensor, and processing circuitry. The method includes the steps of: illuminating at least one occupiable position within the vehicle with radiation of multiple frequencies; generating radar sensor signals from reflections of the transmitted radiation, a plurality of the radar sensor signals corresponding to different frequencies; and operating the processing circuitry for generating and determining if a first indicator value indicative of motion in the occupiable position satisfies a first predetermined criteria and, if so, generating and determining a second indicator value indicating a degree of repetitive pattern within the radar sensor signals, and determining presence of an unattended child in the vehicle if the second indicator value satisfies a second predetermined criteria.

A child protection system is provided with a cover member that is interchangeable between different child carriers, such as an infant car seat and a stroller. The interchangeable cover member protects a child occupant from sun, wind, weather, insects, germs and provides privacy. The cover member is removably coupled to an anchor member, such as a canopy, of an infant car seat when in a first position. The cover member is removably coupled to an anchor member, such as a bumper bar, of a stroller when in a second position.

A seating arrangement for a vehicle is shown to include a plurality of seats, including at least two front seats, at least two rear seats, and a rear jump seat positioned intermediate the two rear seats. The jump seat comprises a seat back which is positioned rearwardly of the rear seats, and the rear seats are movable laterally between a first position where the rear seats are proximate to each other and generally covering the seat back of the jump seat, and a second position where the rear seats are spaced apart from each other and the seat back of the jump seat is exposed. The arrangement may also include rear seats which are rotatable relative to the seat backs to provide a storage surface.
