Approx 18 months old baby was at home with sick dh. Not quite 4 yrs old child was with me. It was to be a "quick" shopping to a small town. Since it was only me and this child, I took my dh's car which have better mpg. It was below freezing outside. My mini-van have numeric lock (push buttons to unlock). I never locked myself out with this mini-van. I had a few stops to make. As per to my common practice, I threw keys and whatever was in my hand onto driver seat while I buckled in child. Keep in mind that I always locked vehicle when I go shopping. It was very biting cold windy out so I put in child first then uploaded the groceries in trunk. Unbeknown to me that this car's lock system is very sluggish in frigid weather. Yup, you guessed it. Car didn't really lock itself until I slammed door after buckling in child. Dd couldn't unbuckle herself and couldn't pull that one lock. It was LONG wait- enough for concerned stranger to call 911 twice if not trice. Thereafter I kept keys in my hand all the time until I arrived home! It was much to my relieve that now 4 year old child could unbuckle herself! Oh boy, I really tried to tell her how to unbuckle herself at that time while standing at window in strong biting cold wind!!!! I'm so grateful that there were sincerely concerned strangers and that all ended well!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18260565912121281762noreply@blogger.com
