Men.

This is exclusively a men problem. Women do not do this, at all, ever.  [/quote]

I’m a woman and left my baby in the car once and the garage once.  (Different babies.). The car one luckily I was with my husband and he realized I had forgotten her.  Honestly I think I forgot I had brought her — we were at my in laws and running an errand for my MIL.  The garage I was so busy getting the other kids all buckled in I didn’t realize that I hadn’t put the baby carrier into the latching thing.  I was most of the way where we were going and my 3 year old told me we didn’t have the baby in the car.  I was like “she’s right behind me!”  I really thought she was there.  
I think men are somewhat more prone to it only because, as the Weingarten article points out, it happens most often when someone is doing something out of their usual routine — like mom usually does daycare drop off but dad is covering this one time. [/quote]
