Never forget your child in a hot car again. This new gadget is launching to prevent tragic accidents from happening. eClip attaches to a child's car seat, diaper bag, or seat belt, and then works its magic after you part your car: you’ll be alerted via Bluetooth on your smartphone any time you walk more than 15 feet away from the car without your child. The device also monitors the temperature in the backseat and sends an alert if it becomes too hot or cold.
