Look I have a cell phone and I know almost immediately if I left it somewhere or forgot it at home (which rarely happens). People just need to pay attention these are innocent children/babies.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183628538213526823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781997457682500760.post-43272024721887353762014-08-08T20:44:05.915-07:002014-08-08T20:44:05.915-07:00This is a great post!

Even if I leave them in there momentarily while I run to get the mail or get something out of the house I'll leave the air on and roll down a window in case I would accidentally lock it.

YIKES. I called my husband and within 5 minutes he was there with the keys. I played games with her through the glass and tried to distract her from the fact she was locked in. She was too young to get out of her carseat by herself.

People today pass judgment and report "new" without knowing all the facts and instead of acting with a little empathy and kindness - leap to judgments. I find that negativity sad. I love these suggestions, especially the shoe one.

Our friends once accidentally locked their infant in the car because they had a rental and didn't realize the doors automatically locked. Of course, the keys were in the car. Their son slept through the whole ordeal and we were able to get him out within 10 minutes of calling 911.
