A vehicle occupant alarm assembly includes a remote unit that is carried by a caregiver driving a vehicle. The remote unit broadcasts a location signal. A base unit is attachable to a child that is seated in a vehicle and the base unit is in remote communication with an extrinsic communication network. The base unit receives the location signal and the base unit transmits an alert signal to the extrinsic communication network when the location signal falls below a pre-determined signal strength. The remote unit receives an alert from the extrinsic communication network when the base unit transmits the alert signal to the extrinsic communication network. In this way the remote unit alerts the caregiver that the child may be unattended in the vehicle.
