It's every parents worst nightmare, you are peacefully pumping the gas, smiling and cooing at your baby every couple seconds to keep them happy while they are safely in the car out of the wind and the cold and the gas fumes. You put the nozzle back and tighten the gas cap, walk to the driver door, pull the handle and it's locked. That's right locked. The keys are right there on the seat where you left them and you have locked your child in the car.
It is a horrible feeling. I should know because today I locked Trevor in the car at the Costco gas station. Trevor is such a good boy and he just sat in the car while Darren and I entertained him by making faces through the windows. Fortunately, USAA did a great job of getting someone to come quickly and within 20 minutes they had gotten us into our car and I showered my wonderful little boy with lots of "I'm sorry" kisses.

Been there done that... Cameron at Walmart...
I am glad baby Trev was ok... that is so not fun!
scarier . . . in the parking garage at the airport . . . #2 shut the door before I could get around to get the baby (#5) and MY PURSE, which I had just put the keys into. I had no purse, no money, just me and a 7 year old daughter outside with a one year old in the car alone. I was scared . . . a nice lady passing by gave me money for the phone, I had to leave my daughter in a parking garage, to guard my baby in the van while I went to the pay phone by the elevators to call my husband, as fast as I could then run back to my daughter. I was just glad some scary guy didn't come take little daughter, and glad that the baby was happy the whole time. So glad for cell phones in the pants pocket nowadays.
I locked my uncle's wallet in the car once on our way from Missouri to West Virginia. I think we were in Kentucky at a gas station. Not a baby, but my uncle could yell.
I am happy it all turned out okay!
That is no fun! I'm glad it wasn't too bad though - Trevor's a trooper!
