It wasn't until we bought our first infant car seat [1] that I understood first-hand the constant worry parents experience [2] while driving. The car seat we chose was perfectly safe and suited our needs, and I even bought a car seat mirror so that I could see my new baby. But every single time I got into the car, I spent the duration of the drive thinking or saying, "Is she OK?" If someone drove with me, I'd ask them to sit in the backseat so they could report back to me.

While smart baby gear [3] and beeping car seats aren't a new category by any means, this new car seat has just enough fresh tech-enabled capabilities to help parents curb this common worry. The game-changing feature of the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe EveryStage Smart All-in-One Convertible Car Seat [4] ($280) — out today! — is the harness sensor. It syncs to an app on your phone, and alerts you if anything goes wrong in the backseat. See it in action ahead.
