Kids

[Cire]

Yeah, I was about to bust it with a shovel before I saw my neighbor to borrow his phone.  I didn't feel panicked but I didn't even look at the passenger door or try it until like 15 minutes after.

She was strapped in.

When lil CF3 was maybe 2 and a half and his sister was like 1, I locked both of them in at the zoo parking lot. And my phone was in there with them. I managed to coax the bigger of the lil CF3s into squirming out of his carseat and unlocking the door. I told him he was a hero just like spiderman.

I feel like a 2 year old should be able to hang out in a car for 45 minutes until a locksmith arrives. is that assumption not correct?

depends on if car is running and weather and junk like that. i'd need to know more variables.

It depends on how the parent handles themselves too.  Yes they're going to be freaking out slightly but if they outwardly play it off like it's NBD then the kid will probably be fine too and kick back in his own little car kingdom for a while.  If a kid sees their parent losing their crap on the other side of the window they're probably going to lose their crap too.

Car was running but I had to be to work at a certain time and didn't have a phone to call

sister in laws time was hot AF and nephew was already losing his crap. 45 was no bueno.

another thing: I bet it's irl hard to break a car window.

Yea it probably is harder than you think to do it with what you would probably have in that situation.  At least without cutting yourself up pretty good.

Yes.  They actually make a special keychain tool for breaking windows.

Why would you need to break a window if you have your keys? Someone else window?

good point, prolly more useful when you have to drive into a body of water 007 style to escape the KGB

Would be a fascinating (and pretty sadistic) test to see how long a parent could prevent and/or stand their toddler freaking out while trying to save the cost of the window.  Ideal weather conditions obviously for the test.

windows are cheap AF. my 45 minutes of sitting there and doing nothing is worth more than a stupid window.

They are for when you accidentally drive into a farm pond

Seems like you would waste more than 45 minutes dealing with replacing the window + window cost

Yeah, more for the water scenario or helping others in distress. 

Key to car window breaking is to use something small and pointy to concentrate the force.

counter to the counterpoint a lot of window places will do mobile service.

Just pull out your Judge and judge the crap out of that window.

My sister had to have the FD break her window.  Friggin idiots, but they broke the one right next to the kid.  Why wouldn't they go to other side of car?  Idiots.
