This happened to me too once with a little girl that I babysit for. I strapped her into her carseat (not realizing that she was playing with the locks prior to me strapping her in) and when I went to the other side I noticed the car was locked - and my keys were staring at me from the center console. Needless to say I was scared out of my mind and I also called my friend for a spare. After realizing how much time that would take in San Diego traffic I decided to call 911. Best decision. They came in under 5 minutes and popped that lock right away. I feel your pain and your terror. You're not alone! Glad your story had a happy ending.

I did it in the mall parking lot on our way home for bed - luckily it was February so not hot. Nonetheless, panic set in and I flagged down the mall security and he had te firemen there in no time. My child never realized he was strapped down and mommy couldn't get in :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-41681801893079759772013-06-05T23:27:48.042-04:002013-06-05T23:27:48.042-04:00SO scary!

I live in constant fear of this happening because I've gotten into a nasty habit of dropping my keys into the rear passenger door catch-all while I strap L into the car seat... then I'll shut that door and realize I don't have my keys in my hands as I'm walking around to the driver's door.<br /><br />I am so glad you were surrounded by friends and that the fire department was so quick to respond! I think you deserve wine AND one of those popsicles!

I am so glad that DH is okay, that you had people there to help you and stand by you, and that the firemen arrived so quickly. I think these things could happen to anyone and you're wise to share your story to help other moms.

Put my diaper bag with the keys in it in the front seat, shut the door and proceed to strap Owen into his car seat in the back. When I was done I shut that door and heard the beep, beep, beep CLICK! <br /><br />I just gasped and froze. Almost couldn't believe what had just happened. Luckily we were parked in the driveway and our neighbors came to help. <br /><br />What car do you drive? I had an Audi A4 at the time and I blame the car!

I am so thankful you got help quickly and that Miss Priss is A OK. You hear the tragic end of this tale all too often. There's a whole Slate article going around Twitter and Facebook today about "how to recognize signs of drowning" but this is an equally important summer reminder - cars get hot, so make sure you have your keys in hand. Truly, thank you for sharing. (And more popsicles for DH!) xoMHM1314https://www.blogger.com/profile/06567516263819917728noreply@blogger.com
