Backseat Alarm
How it works
Four steps, designed to be effortless until the moment that matters most.
1. Start a drive
Tap start before you set off, or let a daily schedule arm it for you.
2. We follow your movement
Your phone's location detects when the car is moving and, crucially, when it stops.
3. The alarm sounds
If the car stays stopped for more than 3 minutes, a loud alarm and notification go off.
4. Hold to confirm
The alarm only stops when you press and hold to confirm you checked the back seat.

How the alarm works
One tap to share this life-saving reminder with the parents you know.
Keep the app open on screen and location switched on while driving — the alarm relies on your phone's GPS to detect the stop.
Notifications need to be allowed for the alarm to fire. If you blocked the prompt, enable notifications for this site in your browser settings — note that mobile browsers may suppress alerts when the screen is locked or the app is backgrounded, so keep the app in the foreground while driving.
