This week’s Podcast Question of the Week is about safety:

Do you ever leave your toddler alone in the car?

This week on Babble, Meredith Carroll discussed the recent outlawing of leaving kids unattended in cars. Carroll admits to leaving her 6 month old baby in the car while she picks her 3 year old up from preschool. As well, many commenters gave their two cents, and came in on both sides of the issue.

Do you leave your kid(s) in an unattended car? Do you have any rules about it? For example – do you only do it if you’re within eyesight of your child? Do you only do it if the car is climate-controlled? Do you only do it if you’re running into a liquor store while your kid sleeps in the back seat?

We want to know! Leave your answer in the comments here and we’ll read some of your answers on our podcast! Be sure to watch on Tuesday, 4/4.

Here is a handy-dandy guide to helping parents resent their children in the most effective ways possible.
