Patent attributes
A temperature sensing child safety seat for preventing hyperthermia and hypothermia includes a safety seat that is configured to secure a child in a vehicle. The safety seat comprises a base that defines an interior space. A power module, a microprocessor, and a communications module are coupled to the base and positioned in the interior space. A plurality of sensors is coupled to the safety seat. The microprocessor is operationally coupled to the power module, the communications module, and the sensors. The sensors are configured to measure a temperature and to communicate a temperature reading to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is positioned, in an event the temperature reading deviates from a prespecified range, to compel the communications module to alert emergency personnel.
