Abstract
A safety alert system includes a child seat that may be positioned within a vehicle. The child seat has a plurality of belts and each of the belts may restrain a child in the child seat. A remote unit may be retrofitted to a dome light of the vehicle. The remote unit generates an alarm sequence when a door of the vehicle is opened. A base unit is removably coupled to the belts on the child seat and the base unit is in electrical communication with the remote unit. The base unit emits an audible alarm when the remote unit generates the alarm sequence. Thus, the base unit may prevent the child from being inadvertently left unattended in the vehicle.

12. A safety alert system comprising:
-
a child seat configured to be positioned within a vehicle, said child seat having a plurality of belts, each of said belts being configured to restrain a child in said child seat, said plurality of belts including a top set of belts and a lower belt; a remote unit configured to be retrofitted to a dome light of the vehicle, said remote unit generating an alarm sequence when a door of the vehicle is opened, said remote unit comprising; a remote housing being configured to replace the dome light, a remote control circuit being positioned within said remote housing, said remote control circuit being configured to be in electrical communication with the vehicle thereby facilitating said remote control circuit to detect when the vehicle door has been opened, said remote control circuit generating the alarm sequence when the vehicle door is opened, a light emitter being positioned within said remote housing, said light emitter being electrically coupled to said remote control circuit such that said light emitter emits light when said remote control circuit generates said alarm sequence, a transmitter being positioned within said remote housing, said transmitter being electrically coupled to said remote control circuit such that said transmitter transmits an alarm signal when said remote control circuit generates said alarm sequence; and a base unit being removably coupled to said belts on said child seat, said base unit being in electrical communication with said remote unit, said base unit emitting an audible alarm when said remote unit generates said alarm sequence wherein said base unit is configured to prevent the child from being inadvertently left unattended in the vehicle, said base unit comprising; a base housing having a front side and a perimeter edge, said perimeter edge having a bottom side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side, said lower belt being coupled to said bottom side, each of said first lateral side and said second lateral side having an associated one of a pair of slots extending therethrough, each of said slots insertably receiving an associated one of said top set of belts such that each of said top set of belts are removably coupled to said lower belt wherein said base housing is configured to restrain the child in the child seat, a release being coupled to said front side wherein said release is configured to be manipulated, said release releasing each of said top set of belts from said slots when said release is manipulated thereby facilitating the child to be removed from said child seat, a base processor being positioned within said base housing, a belt sensor being positioned within said base housing such that said belt sensor detects when said top set of belts is coupled to said base housing, said belt sensor actuating and de-actuating said base processor when said belt sensor detects said top set of belts being respectively coupled to and released from said base housing, a receiver being positioned within said base housing, said receiver being in electrical communication with said base processor, said receiver being in electrical communication with said transmitter such that said receiver communicates said alarm signal to said base processor, a speaker being coupled to said front side, said speaker being electrically coupled to said base processor wherein said speaker is configured to emit an audible alarm when said base processor receives said alarm signal thereby inhibiting the child from being left unattended in the vehicle, and a base power supply being positioned within said base housing, said base power supply being electrically coupled to said base processor, said base power supply comprising at least one battery.
