If you can’t take the time and energy to get your child out of a car seat, you should find a sitter, ask a neighbor, ask your mom, etc. to watch that baby.
NEVER should a toddler be left in a car. Cars are stolen, slip and falls happen, or a hundred other things.
Sorry, inconvenience is no excuse for neglect.
Sorry, but it’s a plain fact that that kind of thing is going to go UP when Gov makes it more difficult to have a baby/toddler.
That is the bottom line. Period.
Being judgemental about those people is 1 thing, but it doesn’t erase the fact that it’s just plain going to happen more. And more rules isn’t going to stop people from forgetting.
I agree with you. But I guarantee you more toddlers are killed by parents driving too fast or carelessly, than by being left in cars. I’d even venture to say that sitting in a moving car with a mother applying lipstick or blabbing on a cell is more dangerous than sitting in a parked car on a day that is not too hot or cold.
