Abstract
A safety seat with an alert function includes a seat body, a seat belt, and a buckle assembly. The buckle assembly is installed on the seat body in a seesaw structure. The alert system includes a control module, and a position sensor and a buckle sensor which are electrically connected to the control module. The position sensor is on the buckle assembly. The buckle sensor is in a buckle component of the buckle assembly. When the control module determines that the position sensor is triggered and the seat belt is not buckled to the buckle component, the control module sends an alert signal to remind parents or drivers to engage the buckle component in time to ensure the safety of a child on the safety seat.
