It happens to loving parents. On a familiar drive, the brain can slip into autopilot and lose track of a quiet baby in the back. Tiredness, stress and a change of routine make it more likely.

  • 1 hourless sleep a night for new moms in the first three months.
  • 1 in 4parents of children under three say they have forgotten a child in the car at least once.

Babi doesn’t rely on memory. It checks the seat on every drive.

Nothing to turn on Nothing to charge Nothing to remember

Put it in the seat once. Babi does the remembering for you.

How it works

One small seat. Three layers of backup.

  1. The Babi Seat cushion

    Layer 1

    It knows they’re there.

    The cushion senses your baby the moment they sit down.

  2. The Babi app on a phone next to the Smart Keyring

    Layer 2

    Walk away, it alerts you.

    About 15 m from the car, your phone and Smart Keyring alert at once, even on silent, until you’re back.

  3. A map showing the car’s location shared with Mum, Dad, Auntie and Uncle

    Layer 3

    Can’t respond? Your people can.

    Not back within minutes? Up to 10 people you choose get the car’s location.

The technology

Two names. Each says what it does.

Presence

SeatSense™

A thin cushion on the seat pad senses whether anyone is sitting on it. It knows the seat is occupied without anything to switch on.

Escalation

BabiRelay™

Your phone first, and it keeps going until you are back in range. Not back within minutes, and the people you chose get the car’s location. Whoever is closest gets there.

Doesn’t my car already do this?

Some newer cars remind you to check the back seat. None of them know your baby is there. In US government tests, built-in reminders failed to alert in 24 of 74 trials.NHTSA, DOT HS 813 669, December 2024

“I bought the car seat because my baby brain has been difficult to live with post birth. It is really well made, stands out as a quality product.”

KimUKVerified customer

“I have been looking for something like this specifically just in case, especially after this summer and us having so much heat. It works really well, we have had a couple of false alarms to all the family but better safe than sorry.”

“With all the access to new tech, it makes complete sense to invest money in safeguarding our newborn.”

“I was surprised how low profile the seat is. Comfortable and minimalist, and does exactly what it says it does. I always keep the keyring on me because I am terrible for leaving my phone in the car and that worries me, good failsafe.”

AnitaAUVerified customer

“Better safe, never sorry.”

JoanUSVerified customer

“Whether I or my wife are out in the car with Skyler, we have a little bit of peace of mind just knowing that she is okay. The GPS thing is world class, honestly, that is the difference between this and the cheap clip things that you have to fit every time anyways.”

KaydenUSVerified customer

“Being a first time parent your whole way of life changes not just your routine, why would you not buy something like this, not like it breaks the bank for child safety.”

The research

Tired isn’t careless.

It happens to ordinary, loving parents. On a familiar drive, the brain’s habit system can quietly switch off awareness of a sleeping child in the back. Stress, a change of routine and broken sleep make it more likely.1

That’s why Babi Seat checks the seat, not your memory.

  • 1 hourless sleep a night for new moms in the first three months, and it takes years to fully recover.2
  • 1 in 4In the USparents of children under three say they have forgotten a child in the car at least once.3
  • 3 to 5×In the USfaster: how quickly a child’s body heats up compared with an adult’s.4

Italy made it law. Since 2019, every car in Italy carrying a child under four must have an anti-abandonment device.5 Babi Seat brings the same idea to any car, anywhere.

Why there’s no countdown

Why it alerts the moment you walk away.

A parked car warms up fastest in its first few minutes, on a mild day as much as a hot one. So Babi doesn’t wait. The moment you and your phone leave range with the seat occupied, it alerts you.

+11 °Cin the first ten minutes (about 20 °F)

The cabin warms fastest at the start, on a mild day as much as a hot one.

McLaren, Null and Quinn, Pediatrics, 2005
30 minfor most of the warming

Most of the rise happens within half an hour. A cracked window makes no meaningful difference.

McLaren, Null and Quinn, Pediatrics, 2005
3 to 5×faster than an adult

A baby’s temperature climbs three to five times faster: more skin for their size, and a cooling system still being built.

30-day money back

Fit it. Drive with it for a month.

We think the first alert is all it takes. Take 30 days to be sure. If it has not earned its place in the seat, send it back within 30 days.

Questions parents ask

It lies on the seat pad of a rear-facing or forward-facing child seat, about 25 cm across, with a cut-out around the crotch buckle. Always follow your car seat maker’s guidance on what may be placed in the seat.

No. The app is free for iOS and Android, there is no SIM and nothing to renew. You buy Babi Seat once.

The Smart Keyring in the box is paired to the cushion too. Walk off with your keys and no phone, or with a flat phone, and the keyring sounds and flashes on its own, with no app involved. BabiRelay™ does need your phone with a connection to share the car’s location with your people.

The alert overrides silent mode, sounds, vibrates and lights the screen, and it keeps going until you are back in range. If you are not back within minutes, it goes to your relay with the car’s location.

That is what BabiRelay™ is for. If your phone is in a bag or on a desk, the alert does not stop there. If you are not back within minutes it shares the car’s location with the family you chose. Whoever is closest gets there.

Yes. The cushion stays in the seat, so it works whoever is driving. The alerts go to the phones on your relay wherever they are, so the driver does not have to be the person who answers.

Sometimes it will. Every sensor gives the odd false alert. A false alert means you check and everything is fine. We would rather that than the alternative, and we would rather say so here than have you find out in week two.

Babi Seat runs on a replaceable coin cell, the kind in a car key. There is nothing to charge. When it needs a new one, the app tells you.

Because a parked car gains about 11 °C in its first ten minutes, and a baby heats up three to five times faster than an adult. So there is no countdown. The moment you and your phone leave range with the seat occupied, your phone alerts, and it keeps alerting until you are back. If you are not back within minutes, BabiRelay™ tells your people where the car is.

No, and nothing does. Babi Seat makes sure someone knows the seat is still occupied, and then that someone comes. That is all it does, and we think that is the point.
