    i leave my kids in the car now, with the windows slightly open, but with the doors locked. i also only go to one of 2 local petrol stations, my fave one being with the bowser is right next to the doors into the shop, so i can see them at all times. but it is personal choice, its what you feel the most comfortable doing. i think its easier to get them out when they're babies coz you'll be holding them, but now that my kids are older, i don't feel comfortable getting them out with lots of other cars and stuff around....

    Do whatever you feel like. Don't worry about the others around you.. (but I cheated, I had a capsule for DD and just carried that in)

    I leave my boys in car with car locked, I always go to a pump near door and watch them whole time I am inside which is generally not long at all maybe 2 mins max, I also generally use a servo near home that is not to busy.

    I leave mine in the car, i now have three and i'm always on my own when filling up. The thought of having a baby in my arms and a 4 & 2 year old running around a petrol station makes me just as nervous about leaving them in the car. I keep the windows up because of the fumes unless it was a stinking hot day. Once i have filled up i grab my purse tell the kids i'll be straight back and lock the doors. I'm as quick as possible and i'm constantly looking out the window of the servo while i stand in line.
