That critical issue inspired aeronautical engineer Shy Mindel to co-found Babyark, which makes an app-connected convertible car seat with 14 sensors to ensure proper installation and buckling, monitor child movement, and provide forgotten child alerts. Meanwhile, the seat’s military-grade, carbon fiber energy absorption and side-impact protection systems reduce the effects of sudden stops or accidents. “This was something I had developed originally for armored vehicles and wanted to share with parents,” Mindel says. **Buy Now:** Babyark Convertible Car Seat Premium on [Babyark](https://fave.co/3BWTTs0 "undefined") These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/"},"headline":"Babyark Convertible Car Seat Premium: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:00:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:30.709Z","description":"Find out why Babyark Convertible Car Seat Premium is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcaa807d1cc9bde65/698a8a19b21a9c565650f2a4/babyark-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jared Lindzon","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/jared-lindzon/"}],"creator":"Jared Lindzon","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcaa807d1cc9bde65/698a8a19b21a9c565650f2a4/babyark-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/","name":"Babyark Convertible Car Seat Premium: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"241017 Best Inventions For Parents","description":"Mila's Keeper MilKeeper, the Harbor Baby Monitor, and Babyark Convertible Car Seat are among TIME's best inventions for parents.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ZfoN6OF2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-10-29T19:07:32.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ZfoN6OF2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/","duration":"PT1M40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094755/babyark-convertible-car-seat-premium/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
