[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s illegal where I live.

And I don’t get the rational that makes it okay.  If you wouldn’t leave a four-year-old home alone, why would you leave them in a car alone?[/quote]

While I push the grocery cart to the collection area 3 spaces away? Or put gas in the car?  I don't do it because people around here are nuts and would call that in. Maybe your kids aren't well behaved,  but mine sit there nicely for 5 seconds. Windows part way down, car locked, in full sight and within a few feet of the adult.

People are ridiculous around here. Much more likely that my kid will get hit by a car in the parking lot while I return the cart than someone car jacking my locked car. [/quote]

Do you really think that’s what we’re referring to?  Putting gas in the car?  Five seconds with your hands on the car?

I carry my toddler and hold hands with my five year old to return the grocery cart because it’s a distance.  It’s not hard. [/quote]

How many arms do you have exactly? Because it takes two hands to steer a shopping cart, one arm to hold a toddler, two arms of said toddler wiggles, and another arm to hold onto the five year old.

I think kids are far safer in the car alone for ten seconds than being in a parking lot with cars backing out.[/quote]
