1. An infant car seat alarm system comprising:
- a deformable air bag;
at least one pressure switch to sense a weight of an infant;
a transmitter;
at least one receiver; and
an audibilizer;
wherein said deformable air bag is placed under an infant car seat;
wherein said deformable air bag is in communication with said at least one pressure switch to sense a presence of said infant via a load-pressure present or absent in said infant car seat;
wherein said at least one pressure switch is in communication with said transmitter;
wherein said transmitter is in remote communication with said receiver to send at least one signal as an indication of an occupied condition when said infant is present in said infant car seat; and
wherein said receiver is in communication with said audibilizer such that said receiver is able to actuate a warning signal via said audibilizer to warn a driver of said occupied condition when a vehicle is parked and said driver exits a door.
