Why Ride & Remind

A Revolutionary Safety System:

Ride & Remind isn't just a device placed within the vehicle, it's actually installed as part of the vehicle.

Ride & Remind is a completely integrated system that reminds you when someone or something is in the back seat of your vehicle. Simply stated: it provides an audible reminder so
you’ll never again forget anyone or anything you’ve placed in the back seat of your vehicle. The Ride & Remind System was designed by a busy driver for busy drivers.

Customer Reviews:

It works!Read on Amazon
I just wanted to let everyone know that this device is simple and straightforward in how it works and what it is designed to do. If you have experience in wiring car stereo systems, it is likely something that will not require professional installation. However, despite having installed 2 systems myself, I would still recommend it. It works exactly as described and must be installed as per the instructions to work correctly. I struggled with the door switch on mine because I have one vehicle that had a normally open switch and one that had a normally closed. On older model ford's, specifically Transits I believe, the wiring and jumpers have to be adjusted. Additionally, I spoke to the gentleman who designed the system a few times for help in the installation. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows his stuff when it comes to his design and seemingly any vehicle it's being installed in. I highly recommend making the call if needed to customer support. The system works perfect is both vehicles and I would very much purchase again.
Must Have for the Forgetful ParentRead on Amazon
EDIT: Four years out I have more to say! First, I’m still so happy we did this. Trust me, if you forget to press the little green button in the backseat, the horn is very very loud and people will come find you. It became a bit of an awkward situation when a friend borrowed my car at 5 in the morning and I forgot to tell her about it. One of the green buttons ended up breaking around the 3 year mark. That wasn’t ideal. We finally uninstalled a couple months ago and there are two little holes near the doorframes where the buttons were. I was prepared for this and since our car is 10 years old at this point, it doesn’t really matter to us. But if you have a newer car it might matter to you. It was all worth the peace of mind, just some additional things to consider. Original Review: Some people think "it could never happen to me" while others think "that will absolutely happen to me someday." I'm in the second category and TERRIFIED of leaving a kiddo in the backseat. I'm absent-minded to begin with, and I know that any slight change in the routine can cause a tired mama to forget something (even a child!) in the car. Enter a back-seat reminder. I first tried a free iphone app. It was okay, but unreliable, and eventually the maker stopped updating it (it was free, as I mentioned, and bless him for creating it in the first place!) I then tried the one you clip to a the car seat belt, but there was too much room for error. You had to start the clip, start an app, remember to bring your phone inside with you, etc. I then bought this one. Pro tip, instead of a mechanic, try taking it to a car audio installer. The ones I saw around town (Austin) were more than happy to install this. Ended up getting it put in for about $200. Probably could have found someone to do it cheaper, but I'd already had the baby, summer was hot, blah blah blah. Anyway, it's been soooo worth it. I don't have to remember to do anything to get it going. I open the door to put the baby in and it beeps. I turn off the engine when I get somewhere and it beeps constantly until I push a button next to the back door. If I forget to push the button, the horn blares. It's AMAZING. As an added bonus, it sometimes works the opposite--if I don't turn off the car, the button system doesn't beep and I sometimes remember to see if the car is still on (it usually is.) I wholly recommend this system to every family and parent out there.
Works as it shouldRead on Amazon
I feel that these should be mandatory in any vehicle that transports children- public or private. We have a car seat that is supposed to alert you when a child is left behind. It was inadequate. This works as it should. It doesn’t rely on an app, or changing out batteries. When you turn the car off (and have previously opened the rear doors) it is persistent until attended to. Watch the YouTube videos on how this works, it’s really quite brilliant. As an aside, we had no issue getting this installed. Install cost us $350 at a local auto audio shop. Well worth the peace of mind and safety of our child.
 Very impressive systemRead on Amazon
Just got back our car from the installation shop and I have to say I am quite pleased. This device is actually similar to the OEM system in a car that we rented recently; however with this one, the horn goes off if you ignore the reminder! The first reminder sound is a light beeping tone but if you ignore it (...and believe me you won't) then your horn goes off full blast. Yes the installation costs ($175 in our case) but it was well worth every penny...just so we can sleep at night!
Peace of MindRead on Amazon
I looked at the reviews of the less expensive options, purchased one that didn't work, sent it back, purchased another that also didn't work. I am so glad that I got the Ride N Remind.
Works just as advertisedRead on Amazon
I was a little hesitant to purchase this with so few reviews, but I decided to take a chance and am so glad I did. I had the system installed several days ago and so far, it's working just as described. Our son won't be here for a few more weeks, but having this system in place from day one gives me a little piece of mind. We live in Texas where summers get very hot, so we felt like this was a must have. I love how there are no batteries that need to be charged, and nothing that you have to remember to do. So far, I am completely satisfied.
Excellent product. Totally foolproofRead on Amazon
There are other products that are to alert you that you have left your child in the car, but all that I found depended on some other device such as your phone. If you are going to forget your child you may be prone to forget your phone too. This device only depends on you turning off the car and opening your door. That is about as fool proof as you can get.
Ride N Remind System is the way to go!Read on Amazon
This is an amazing product! I remember hearing people say leave your left shoe in the carseat so you won't forget your baby, or leave your cell or wallet in the carseat. Realistically, no one is going to do that every single time. The ride n remind system is a great reminder for anything you may have left in the back seat be it groceries, cleaners or most importantly your baby. This product is absolutely priceless and should be installed in every car transporting children!

Smarter

The Ride & Remind System doesn't attach to a car seat. Instead, it becomes a part of
your car, seamlessly integrated to provide protection for EVERY child in your back seat
every time you drive. It continuously monitors your vehicle's rear doors and activates automatically if your rear door is opened and closed within 15 minutes of starting your vehicle.

Better

Unlike systems that attach to car seats, Ride & Remind goes further by providing
full backseat protection. Since it's part of your vehicle system, it works for EVERY backseat occupant. That means that not only every 
person but also everything you place in your backseat is protected. You'll never forget a
laptop, briefcase, purse or other cargo again.

Simpler

Ride & Remind was engineered to be fully automatic and requires no driver participation
to activate. It's a completely hassle-free and maintenance-free system. There are no
batteries to replace so you never have to worry about system failure due to dead batteries.
There are no attachments or gadgets to carry: it's designed with your convenience in mind.
