For me it's the #2 nightmare. Leaving the baby in the car in the sun is #1.

  As a new parent, I can't imagine how anyone would ever accidentally leave a child in their car.

    I think rear-facing car seats kill more infants than they save. How many children survive a car crash only because they were facing backwards should be weighed against the number of children who die each summer because the parents forgot them. If the child is front facing, your rear-view mirror will be filled with your child's face. But imagine the child falls asleep in a rear facing car seat after you have been up all night with them. It happens every summer to good parents.

    The typical example given is that someone, in their sleep-deprived haze, forgets to take the sleeping infant to their daycare before going to work. I go the other extreme, every time I'm in the car by myself I have a few "Oh no! Where's the baby!" moments.
