The Hook: Our Favorite Way to Never Forget The Baby in the Car 

If you don’t want to drive with one shoe in the back seat, this might be the solution for you. 

After we published this post about forgetting a baby in the car, we received lots of feedback and tips from readers. But one reader recommended a really simple solution that we thought we’d share with you!

The solution? Purse hooks!

If you carry a purse, leaving your purse on a hook next to the car seat is a great way to make sure you’re always checking the back seat. 

Black Purse Hooks

These durable hooks do the job.

Beige Purse Hooks

If you have a beige interior and want the hooks to blend in, these are really popular.

Leather Purse Hook

These leather hooks are nicest for an upgraded look. Also available in black.

    Ppl can forget their pocket book or purse in the car. It has happened. But nobody will forget to get their shoe. I’ve been doing it for years. My daughter just installed a device she got from Amazon had to be done by mechanic. Was $500 but it’s a one time investment amd saves lives!! Something big has to happen

    I just installed a device into my car that took just a few minutes and was super simple to do. Now every time I turn my car off and take off my seatbelt, the plug in beeps and flashes blue and red- it’s inexpensive and is a sure way of remembering to take the baby along with you.
