Well, I bet I've got a few more gray hairs now...

[LaraMN]

I was running an errand with a friend this morning, and JackMN was tagging along. We were driving down the road when I suddenly heard a WHOOSH of air, and realized Jack had wriggled loose from his car seat and opened the car door. I immediately shouted "NOOO!!!" reached into the backseat, grabbed JackMN, and simultaneously pulled the car over REALLY fast.

Child safety locks- even if they're inconvenient, they're a good idea.

:scared:

[BarenakedLady]

1. OMG!

I'm so glad he is ok. I hope you are ok too.

:hug:

[LaraMN]

3. I was severely rattled.

I will be revisiting our choice in child safety seat. It was way too easy for him to get out of his.

2. Strait jackets, not just for psychos anymore

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[LaraMN]

4. After my last foray to Dairy Queen with him

I was already contemplating a junior-size strait jacket. Now it's starting to seem like a very good idea...

[KitchenWitch]

5. I figured you would not be offended by my silly comment.

My son did that when he was about 3. Scared the bejeebers out of me.

[LaraMN]

8. I don't have a whole lot of time alotted for stewing over offense.

I have to paint my nails and do other pressing and important things.

:D

Neither of my other kids EVER tried to open the door in a moving car. Just when I think I've seen it all, Jack threshes fresh fields of terror.

[Shell Beau]

6. Yikes! Sounds terrifying! Thankfully he is okay!

[LaraMN]

10. I'm still sick to my stomach over it.

He's very good at keeping me on my toes!

[Bake]

7. Holy sh*T!!!!!

I was all set to be snarky until I read what happened!!!! OMG!!!!

Glad everyone is OK. And kudos on the quick reaction.

:hi:

11. It scared the hell out of me.

A child falling out of a moving car is one of my ultimate nightmares!

[Parche]

9. That Would Have Been A Nightmare

Glad you are OK

:hug: :hug:

:hi:

[LaraMN]

12. I'm glad too!

That kid is a terror on two stubby legs!

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Worst fears...come to life.

It is why I still keep the lock on the window and door of BabyG's side of the car...even at 9. :hug:

I am so glad he is okay.

[LaraMN]

14. It continually amazes me that most children live to adulthood

given the multitude of opportunities for disaster.

[NJmaverick]

15. Thankful you are OK. Kids have a nasty habit of getting out of those car seats

Had to respond to an accident where a woman turned around (because their child got out of his seat) and ended up crashing into a parked car. You're right, child safety locks are a potential life saver.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. BabyMidlo did that once. I about had a heart attack.
