Anothe...I'm glad Marily posted this as well. <br /><br />Another thought on this same subject, if your child accidentally gets locked in the car in the summer, call 911 right away. You don't have time to waste. I have twins and that means that I have a tricky time of loading two non-walking babies into their car-seats. A few years ago, when my oldest set was just 1, I had put one of my girls in her seat. I still had my arms full with her twin, so I couldn't buckle her. I set her there, gave her my keys to distract her from climbing out of the seat until I could load her sister in so I could come back and buckle her, and then I closed the door so she wouldn't fall out. No sooner had I closed the door and started walking around the back of my car did I hear the click. My daughter had locked herself in the car. <br /><br />I felt dumb that I let her play with my keys. I felt like a terrible mom. I was scared. It was the beginning of summer and I knew the car would be getting hot. Without wasting time, I called 911. It was a good thing too. In just the 5 minutes it took the fire department, I had one very hot girl. <br /><br />Moral of the story: cars can be dangerous here in the summer. I worry about everything, think of every dangerous scenario, and even I had a lapse in judgement where I let me daughter play with my keys. My advice: don't hesitate to call 911. Be watchful in parking lots. When I walk into stores, I make sure the car-seats I am seeing in other's backseats are empty. And for my crew with a lot of young ones, a remote start was a very wise investment. Air can be on without the worry of someone jumping into my car and driving away while I'm still loading my 4 littles. <br /><br />Kathryniheartmesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688180158940840463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564585324701118864.post-63820221093057404222010-07-07T13:30:33.975-07:002010-07-07T13:30:33.975-07:00I live in Mesa too and I see these stories on the ...I live in Mesa too and I see these stories on the news and it breaks my heart!
