In the world we live in today, I think it is irresponsible for a parent to leave their child anywhere unattended. Their are so many dangers in leaving your child alone in your car, if even for only a minute. A minute is a long time for someone to get into your car and steal it, along with your child. Many people in this day an age live a fast pace life, but nothing in this world should matter more than your child. The dangers are endless, summer heat can easily kill your child and being in the car without air conditioning is a sure way to insure that. You might say "Well I left the car running and I was only a minute", Leaving your car running and unattended is like an invitation to steal your car, and then what? I strongly believe that if you must take your child with you, take them with you where ever you are. Though it might be somewhat of an inconvenience to unbuckle them and carry them around the store, in the end it is the safest thing for your child. Being right beside mommy or daddy is where baby feels and is the safest.
