[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on a quiet suburban street and I have left my baby asleep, in the stroller, on the front porch as I unloaded the car or took my other child to the bathroom.  I don't think it is a big deal.  If I lived in downtown DC and there were many strangers walking up and down the sidewalk, directly in front of my home, I may think otherwise though.  [/quote]

Also live in the burbs and I've done the same. If I'm making multiple trips bringing groceries in from the car and the baby is sleeping, I see no difference in leaving the baby alone outside (assuming the weather is nice) vs alone inside while I'm going in and out. I've also seen my neighbor leave her youngest asleep in the stroller on the sidewalk while she plays with her older kids on the playground that is about 50 feet away. I see nothing wrong with that

Again though, this is a pretty quiet cul de sac that doesn't get many (if any) people coming through that don't live there. When I lived in the city, I never would have left dc downstairs/outside while I brought groceries up to our 4th floor walk up. [/quote]
