A comment on a Between Carpools post is helping to make a change in Israeli car safety!
In the summer of 2020, we shared a post from a mom who accidentally left her baby in the car. While that story ended well, B”H, she shared in the hopes of raising awareness amongst our readers of the need to actively try to avoid this happening.
In the comments on that post, there were a couple of mentions of the Clever Elly device, which reminds a driver to check the back seat when the car is turned off and the door is opened
(Read all about how it works on the Clever Elly site.) We thought that was the end of the conversation.
We didn’t know that it was just getting started.
A little while after the post and comments went up, Andrew from Clever Elly reached out to tell us that through that post, the brand had already secured a distributor of their products in Israel and even had a feature on TV there. We needed to know more about how this happened!
Clever Elly was invented and brought to market by a trio of dads in Australia. These men are Jewish and they noticed that the sudden influx of orders had a very high count of Jewish names. They reached out to one of those customers to ask where these orders were coming from and this reader then pointed them to our post.
Three of our followers from Israel reached out to Clever Elly to inquire about distributing the device in Israel after recognizing the potential for saving lives that this product can provide in the hot Middle Eastern sun. Israel had been on their radar for a while and they’d already been in conversation with B’Terem (Safe Kids organization for child injury prevention) who said this is statistically a large phenomenon in Israel. The Clever Elly team picked the strongest candidate who managed to get them featured on TV that same week and finalized a distribution plan.
So that brings us back to you, our followers, in the US, Israel and all around the world.
Clever Elly is offering us a special promotion so we can all take whatever possible precautions to keep our precious cargo safe. Now that the weather is warm, there isn’t a better time!

Thank you so much!!
I just bought a pack of 10 and will be giving to anyone who drives my baby around, and will sell the rest to friends. What a brilliant device! Worth EVERY penny!
Great idea!
So amazing to see the effect of Between Carpools! Chazak Ve’ematz! Kol HaKavod
Clever product, but your post seems a little fluffy 🙂 Andrew himself left the link to clever Elly a day after the post went up in 2020. LOL!
Great attitude, Sharon! Andrew left the link the next day – that was already after he’d had the conversation with the customer that led him back to our post. There was no direct link before that. A day is a long time in the online world.
True Story!!
I actually ordered the device after it was featured on BCP. Clever Elly reached out to me inquiring where it was featured as they had an influx of recent orders specifically in the Tri State Area and wanted to know what it was from. After directing them to BCP they then made contact directly. Excellent product!
starting this august, israel is requiring an actual child sensor installed in every car that transports a child below age 4. any system that meets the italian standard is okay. clever elly is not on the list.
Great invention!!
The promo code doesn’t work anymore
I see this is a post from last year maybe we can get something going for this year also 🙂
Last I checked they were not for sale
There are other such devices, I think many car mechanics should be able to help.
I bought this a while back but when I turn on my car (push button start) it goes off for a second and makes the announcement and then does not repeat the announcement when i actually turn off the car…anyone else have this issue?
