[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do it, personally. I think the people saying you have to take the carseat with you are being overzealous. If the area is secure and you are within sight the whole time, I don't really get what the danger is supposed to be.[/quote]
A mom did this at our preschool drop off and when she came back her key wouldn’t open the car. Huge huge ordeal w/ firemen, broken lock, etc to get back in and she was chews out by the first responders (head of preschool was obligated to call after about 20 minutes)[/quote]

I mean sure, there is the possibility that in the time it takes to walk the toddler to the school, the car key will mysteriously change or the battery will die or something bizarre.  There is also the chance that while walking to the school, a tree will fall and kill mom and the kids.  Or maybe a tornado comes and rips of the school building roof?  Or maybe a rabid racoon is on the loose in the parking lot.  In those cases, wouldn't we all rather the baby be left in the safety of the car?  But no, let's only assume the safe thing is the thing that puts more work on the mother.[/quote]
