The other week at 4 year old Kindy, when I was picking up Miss H, I was waiting in the car park until it was time to go get her.

A mum got out of her car and locked it. She started talking to her friend, another mum, and I heard her say *Oh *such n such* (her son, looked about 18months old) is asleep, so he can just stay in the car til I get back*

The car park is next to the kindy, but you can NOT see yr car from the kinder!

I have seen another mum do the same thing with one of her children as well.

So I am wondering, do you do it? Or, like me, are you kind of shocked when you see a kid in a car with no adult with them?

What age do you think is appropriate to leave a child in the car while you *run an errand, or pick up sibling from kindy etc*
