1. A device for alerting a user to the presence of a child in a vehicle comprising:
- a) a housing having a first sensor for sensing the presence of at least one of a child and an infant positioned therein;
b) means connected to said first sensor for detecting the operative mode of a vehicle engine;
c) means connected to said first sensor for indicating said presence to a third party;
wherein said indicating means is activated and indicates to said third party said presence of said at least one of a child and an infant, upon said detecting means detecting said vehicle engine is in a first off mode and said first sensor sensing said presence of said at least one of a child and an infant;
d) wherein said first sensor is a weight sensor for sensing a weight of said at least one of a child and an infant positioned within said housing; and
