A detection system may include a first sleeve shaped to receive and retain a buckle of a child safety seat. The first sleeve may include a first body portion shaped to receive and retain the buckle, a male connector portion integrally formed with the first body portion, and a transmitter electrically coupled to the male connector portion. The detection system may include a second sleeve shaped to receive and retain a buckle connector. The second sleeve may include a second body portion shaped to receive and retain the buckle connector, a female connector portion connected to the second body portion, and a battery electrically coupled to the female connector portion and configured to provide energy to the transmitter when the male connector portion communicates with the female connector portion. The transmitter may generate a signal, indicating a presence of a child, when the transmitter receives energy from the battery.

Systems and methods for detecting an unattended child in a child safety seat of a vehicle

One or more devices associated with a first vehicle receives location information that specifies a location of a second vehicle. The one or more devices determine, based on the location information, that the second vehicle is within a threshold distance of the first vehicle. The one or more devices establish, based on determining that the second vehicle is within the threshold distance of the first vehicle, a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second vehicle. The one or more devices receive from the second vehicle, and by using the P2P connection, content that has been captured by a camera component associated with the second vehicle. The one or more devices cause an interface associated with the first vehicle to display the content.
