Update seatbelts system with an alarm to prevent kids being left in cars

The Issue

There have been too many reports of small children being forgotten in cars and left to suffer a terrible death, leaving the parents or caregiver to live out their lives with that guilt. My petition is to propose that USDOT and NHTSA implement a new seatbelt safety standard that will require all new vehicles to be equipped with an alarm that alerts the driver when any seatbelt is still in the locked/clicked position after the driver's seatbelt is removed. 

This sounding alarm would alert the driver to check the back seatbelts and potentially save a life. 

Please sign this petition. Let us watch them grow.
