Getting petrol and LO?

[polo_princess]

I know in Australia its illegal to leave a child unattented for ANY amount of time, so I wouldn't do it... also... I'm a "WHAT IF" freak

ALSO, recently in Australia a woman had her car stolen, with her 11 week old baby inside, when she was paying for something like a computer repair at a shop that had a drive way, she was literally like 5 meters from her car, she didn't even go inside the shop and while she paid, and obviously she looked away for a moment and someone jumped in and drove away!

That incident is enough for me to never do it...

... I just get my OH to fill up petrol and I never drive anyway.

Not meaning to play devils advocate here but how on earth did that happen?

Why was the car left unlocked and why were the keys left in it? LO in the car or not that is a bit careless isnt it?

i pay at the pump or take her in with me. A bit of an inconvenience tbh but worth it imo.
