12-Year-Old’s Amazing Invention To Prevent Babies Being Left In Hot Cars [VIDEO]

You see it all too much and a 12-year-old may be able to help decrease those stories of parents leave their kids in the hot car.

A 12-year-old Nashville boy told Jenna Lee this afternoon about his clever invention that he hopes will help stop parents from accidentally leaving a child in their car. Andrew Pelham came up with the idea when he was in fifth grade and heard a local news story about a woman who had mistakenly left her child in a hot car, the YouTube description reads.

Pelham said the story "inspired" him while he was trying to come up with an idea for an invention contest. In the segment below, we got a look at how the brightly colored EZ Baby Saver works. Pelham said one side hooks onto the driver's door, while the other attaches to the back of the seat.

"When you open the car door and get out of your car, you're blocked by the brightly colored EZ Baby Saver and you remember, 'oh, my child is still in the car,'" he said.
