+1.  A few car lengths away?  I don't see the problem if it's not hot.  If you consider the chances of something awful happening while the baby is a few steps away in the car vs. being held by you at the ATM I would consider standing at the ATM with a handful of cash and a baby in my arms to be the bigger danger.

[b]What could happen?  Just about anything.  Mom could accidentally leave the keys inside.  Mom could accidentally drop the keys downa grate.  There could be a line at the ATM an mom has to wait for 1 or 2 folks to finish first. Mom could see a friend on the street and the 2 min trip is now a 5-7 min trip.  [/b]

Why take the chance?  Think of this way,  would you ever want to have to finish this sentence "If only, I didn't leave DC alone in the car then..."

But it's possible you can lock your keys in the car or drop them down a grate between walking from the placing the kid in the car and walking around to the driver side. Driving to the ATM (or anywhere) presents the greatest of all the risks people have thrown out and it's unlikely that if the worst were to occur someone would say "If only I didn't drive..."

I'd probably do it in cooler weather, if the car was in sight. On days like today, I'd figure out out to live w/o cash.[/quote]
