This is the right thing to do.  And if you can't be bothered, MYOB.  It takes a village.  I'm sure this arrangement isn't this mom's first choice, but she has weighed the risk and deemed the alternative (waking the sleeping baby) worse than the outside risk.  We all do this every day and are doing the best we can.  [/quote]

Pick up baby in car seat, put in snap and go, go inside. Really not that hard. We have all done it.[/quote]

Ours has several flights of stairs.  So while I agree w/your general premise, I have to be the pain in the ass to point out why that wouldn't work at our center.

Maybe the mom in question has a convertible car seat though, now that I think about it. While I find sleeping-baby-in-bucket to be worth the extra investment in getting infant seat for the first year + convertible seat thereafter, not everyone can afford that luxury.[/quote]

The snap and go infant seats can also just be carried if you can't use a stroller.  Or you can just pick the sleeping baby up and go into the center.  It's the same thing you do when you go grocery shopping, to the library, the dry cleaners....

This isn't complicated, it isn't about money.  It really isn't that hard.  We all know why the mother is leaving her baby in the running car - it is for convenience.  Nothing more, nothing less.  [/quote]
