Problem: baby in car; solutions

How do you remember a baby in the back seat of a car? Some poppa say take off your shoes. Others say it's illegal. (Also danger to your feet.)

So put a spare pair of shoes on the front seat. Another suggestion is tie elastic from the baby seat to your car door so you can't exit without a reminder to check baby.

Better still, always check both the front and back of your car before leaving, so ensure you have not left any kind of valuables, your laptop, your baby, your coat, your sunglasses, an empty bag or jacket which could attract a thief, a child which could attract a predator, a dog which could escape and release the handbrake.
