Hey, does the ID3 alert you when someone is in the rear seat and does not have their belt buckled?

I’ve got a child seat but no alerts come on if a child is sitting there with the belt unbuckled.

Is there a setting for this or does it just not detect children below a certain weight?

Same here - the flat base of the child seat (and it’s Isofix so supported at the back) spreads the weight - so it won’t set off the bum on seat sensor… 😁

What kind of child seats do you use?

Oh I didn’t know that. Is there a way to change how it senses the seat? Or does it require a “bum shape” to be sensed before it’s triggered? XD
