> If the back seat belt is buckled and the seat contains a certain range of weight (would probably get annoying if it would beep for an adult), it should beep.

Well, the alarm timing is different (you don't want it to alarm when driving, but you do want it to alarm when you are done driving), and you don't want to rely on a seatbelt (because a car seat attached with LATCH won't use the seatbelt, though car seats may also be attached with seatbelts—even with LATCH available you need this at higher weights.)

Ah, I don't have kids and have never put in a car seat, I thought they all used seatbelts. Damn my assumptions! Probably one of those problems that might be best served with a simple human solution, like the "bag in the back".
