Safety
Many parents have experienced an instance where they're trying to unbuckle a child from a car seat, but they are unable to build up the force necessary to push the red button. It can be frustrating whether you're having an unlucky day or weak hand. But now, a company called NAMRA has developed a product that may finally allow us to get those car seats unstrapped with ease.
The Seat Key is a small device that helps you release the red button by spreading the pressure. The company claims it's built of durable materials that are safe and non-toxic, and it can be easily stored on your keychain making it handy, yet safe from your children's reach. Rachel Rothman, chief technologist at the Good Housekeeping Institute, tested one. She found it useful, but it's not a magical solution. "Sliding it between the buckle and the baby still requires some force, and securing it to my key ring made it a bit bulky," she writes. "But at $15, it's a great addition to any parent's collection of baby gear."
Don't leave the Seat Key transmitter in a hot vehicle. It could get too hot and cause damage to the seat or other electronics. Avoid using it near radio-emitting devices such as cellular phones and computers or with metal objects.
Maintenance
Every seat key is equipped with a transponder that is coded to the engine of your car. This extra security system means that unless you have the correct code, your car will not start. This additional safety feature is incorporated into all vehicles built after 1995. It's an excellent benefit for those who are concerned about theft or loss of keys.
This is especially important especially if you have small children who are able to make toys of seat key remotes. They might be enticed by them to use them at home or in the vehicle, and they could be able to open the doors and control the car such as power windows. This can be very dangerous and could result in someone being hurt or even killed. To prevent this from occurring, it's recommended to keep a spare set of seat keys somewhere secure.
