Most of the time I get petrol, it works out that DD is asleep in the car, and there's no way I'm waking her! DH leaves early in the morning, and gets home late at night so other than making special nighttime trips to get petrol, there really isn't a chance to have someone else in the car. I lock the car, and make sure I can see her at all times, but I figure it would take far longer to get her in and out of the car than to just pop in to pay. I wouldn't leave her to go into the supermarket or where I couldn't see her though. I feel comfortable leaving her there (usually it's at our local petrol station where I recognise the attendants and vice versa)...even though it is in dodgy west auckland lol

He he, if I tried to take the gremlins in they'd probably get run over on the forecourt or pinch Kinder Surprise at the counter

I hadn't thought about this yet.

I guess because at this stage i don't even take my bag in, will quite often leave my phone bag everything in the car with the windows wound down during summer hehe yeah i know real security conscious.

What I probably will do as I have an alarm that immobilises itself after 45seconds is alarm the car silently especially if bubs is sleeping as i don't want the beep to wake baby up. DP wants to tint my car as well as I have the sedan and he has the 3door hatch (so glad it wasn't the other way round).

If it was his car well he would probably leave baby in the car, but then bubs would have to be in the back and how much time would that take to get baby outta the back of a hatchback for a five second trip to the counter.

I'm already in the habit of not stopping when its busy as I'm too impatient anyways, and not stopping when its rush hour traffic as i cant be naffed trying to get back into the traffic flow afterwards

Petrol station I usually go to the same one anyway , which is the kind where you pay at the pump .

Dairy , sometimes C will stay in the car , because she wants to listen to music, I lock her in .
Often she'll come in anyway ,because she thinks I will buy her something .
Supermarket, no, its too big, the queues could be very long, I feel further away from her and its harder to see her .

depends on the ages of the kids. My kids I would leave while I fill up = in saying that, i usually try and fill up before I pick them up, or at a pay-at-the-pump place. supermarket - never.
