Oh perfect, another thing to buy that will buzz at me. (Because my car seat and phone aren't already doing that constantly.) I can just see myself on a road trip, getting buzzed, then realizing I'm in the left lane doing 75 with cars behind me. So I guess the real hack is pulling over every hour to avoid causing a traffic jam. All to remember to do what my legs already start screaming at me to do. Honestly, this gadget's main job is just to turn a normal ache into an alarm emergency.

Man, @henry101, your point about the buzzing totally hit home for me! I was driving on I-95 last month, my phone was dinging with texts, and my watch started buzzing for who knows what. I got so flustered trying to silence everything that I nearly missed my exit and had to swerve across two lanes. It felt like the gadgets were causing the very problem they're supposed to fix. Sometimes adding more alarms just turns a simple drive into a stressful mess.

Wait, car seats buzz now? Mine just has that awful beep if you don't buckle it. The whole point seems backwards anyway. You're adding a device to tell you to listen to your body, when your body is already pretty good at sending the first alert. It's like wiring in a bell to remind you that you're thirsty.
