The eClip is an alert device to remind you not to leave your kid behind

The gizmo, which has been on the market for nearly two years now following a successful Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign, is called the eClip, and it’s manufactured by a Delaware-based startup called Elpho.

It is literally built to remind parents to take their baby with them by detecting when you’re more than 15 to 25 feet away from the kid by sending an audible and visual alert to your smartphone.

It sounds counterintuitive — what kind of parent forgets they have a kid, right?

— but it turns out there’s some authentic sociological research behind the need for the eClip.

There is in fact a medical phenomenon called Forgotten Baby Syndrome, or FBS.

Some instances are based around motor memory — it’s that thing when you’re on autopilot, maybe doing your daily commute or thinking about the errands you have to run.
