[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wear a wrap or take a sling to drop off/pick up. Your infant isn’t a dog.

Less snarky…the car seat with a handle works best if you carry it beside you. Less work than a snap and go. https://www.wikihow.com/Carry-a-Car-Seat

It takes more time and coordination, but please don’t leave your child alone in car.

As someone who is barely 5’1, I find it really awkward to carry the car seat like that. The snap n go is so much easier for me. Just wanted to throw out that perspective.[/quote]

I'm 5'4" and it was always uncomfortable for me as well. And I'm pretty strong -- I used to be a personal trainer and could pass the physical fitness test for the Marine Corp. tomorrow if I wanted to. But when I was 0-6 months postpartum? Not so much.

Though I am in the camp who would leave the baby in the car for this specific situation -- 30 ft, car in safe place and in sight, not going inside? I don't see the point in taking the baby out and putting them in a sling, especially because the timing of school drop-off pretty much would have ensured the baby would be asleep at least 50% of the time. I'd try to keep her awake until we got home again, but there's only so much you can do.[/quote]
