A vehicle control system monitors an infant possibly left behind in a cabin of a vehicle. The vehicle control system performs a danger avoidance process of either avoiding or reducing a danger to the infant based on a monitoring result. The vehicle control system includes an image acquirer for acquiring one or more vehicle stationary images indicating an interior of the cabin. The one or more vehicle stationary images are captured by an imaging device during stopping of the vehicle. A leaving behind determiner is provided to determine presence or absence of an infant left behind in the cabin based one or more vehicle stationary images.

A child restraint includes a seat base adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and a juvenile seat adapted to couple to the seat base. The seat base includes a seat-base foundation configured to support the juvenile seat and a tether strap coupled to an upper end of the seat-base foundation and adapted to be fixed to a tether-strap anchor coupled to the vehicle seat.

A child/infant safety seat comprising a computing device and at least one sensing unit connected with the computing device; wherein at least one of the at least one sensing unit is configured to detect electromagnetic (EM) and/or magnetic radiation and send measurements to the computing device; and wherein the computing device is configured to process the measurements, calculate the EM and/or the magnetic radiation detected by the at least one of the at least one sensing unit, and determine whether the detected EM and/or magnetic radiation is higher than at least one threshold value.

A device for arranging a passenger restraint system in a vehicle, in particular for arranging a child seat, in order, using the passenger restraint system, to secure a person seated in the vehicle, the device in the arranged state being fastened to a belt frame for a vehicle seat or for a vehicle seat bench. The belt frame includes a support arrangement with a vertical support and a cross strut, and, when the support arrangement is in the arranged state on the vehicle, the vertical support being arranged upright on a floor of the vehicle. The device is present as an elongate profile and wherein the device has mounting members along a longitudinal axis of the profile for the fastening of retaining catches of the passenger restraint system. The mounting members are present spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis of the profile.

A vehicular child monitoring system includes a child monitoring device having a connector for securing the device within a motor vehicle and oriented toward a child seat. The device includes a mirror, a seat connector, a camera, and a control system having a wireless communication unit and a plurality of sensors. The sensors include a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a proximity sensor, and a child detection sensor. A child monitoring application is communicatively linked to the communication unit and includes functionality for displaying the information received from the camera and each of the sensors, and for determining a separation distance with the child monitoring device. The system including functionality for determining that a child is in the car seat and sending an alarm to an external device if the vehicle temperature is above a set threshold.

An unattended occupant alarm assembly includes a plurality of passenger pressure pads that is each integrated into a respective passenger seat in a vehicle to detect the weight of a passenger sitting in any other the passenger seats. A driver pressure pad is integrated into a driver's seat of the vehicle to detect the weight of a driver sitting in the driver's seat. A control unit is coupled to the vehicle. The control unit is actuated into an alert condition when the driver pressure pad does not detect the weight of the driver and any of the passenger pressure pads detects the weight of the passenger after a pre-determined duration of time. Additionally, the vehicle horn is actuated to emit an audible alarm and the electric window system is actuated to roll down windows of the vehicle when the control unit is actuated into the alert condition.

A child car seat is selectively movable between a stowed configuration in a storage area defined by a base portion of a rear passenger seat of an automobile and a deployed configuration positioned against the rear passenger seat. The car seat may be deployed when needed or stowed inside the base portion when not needed. A sun shielding assembly is mounted to a top edge of the child car seat and is adjustable according to remote control signals received from a transmitter that may be positioned near a driver of the automobile.
