My first instinct is front seat. You were probably going about 2 miles an hour. Totally fine.

Yeah I'd do the same. I probably would've let her roam the back seat as an option.

Exactoy what you did, if I had to pull out of the driveway onto the street I would buckle him in the car seat though.

either leave her in the house (I do this when I run out to the mailbox, Leave the door open so she can see me, she stands in the door waiting for me, or throw her in the front seat with me.

Just moving the car back a bit? Front seat or in my lap! I've done that once or twice before and he's gotten a kick out of it.

I would have done what you did.

I would've done the same for a 10 foot move. I know a LO who was outside while his parent moved a vehicle and it wasn't good. Luckily he's ok now.

DS is 20 months, so I would've left him inside (He'd just be peeking out the garage door) or I would've strapped him in the front seat.

We move cars around a lot here, lo usually sits in the front with us.

I would have left him inside in a safe space.

My LO is fine inside the house for a minute or so if I have to run out but if I needed to have her with me I would just have her in my lap. No big deal. We share 5 acres with 4 other members of DH'S family & LO has sat in my lap on short drives across the yard before

@swurlygurl: Front seat! Though one time I did this and let her crawl around in the back and she LOVED it. She giggled the whole time.

Last week at day care, R dropped her sippy cup, it rolled smack in the middle of the car. Luckily a teacher was walking it. So I asked her to hold R's hand while I moved the car. R was crying so hard since she didn't know the teacher and thought I was just leaving her. But I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to strap her in and move spots without her strapped in since it was a parking lot and other cars there.

If it wouldn't end in tears my first choice would be to just leave her inside. If that was not going to work then I would just put her in the front seat. I mean, it's 10 feet, gotta live on the wild side sometimes.

@Smurfette: poor thing! O wigged once because I had to walk around the car and past her door to move a shopping cart. she totally thought I was leaving her in the car. her face was all swollen..I felt AWFUL.

living where we are, I have left her in the (gated off, baby proofed) living room because we live (and park) on a main road. so it would not have been safe whatsoever. but on a quiet side st, rolling the car a few feet in a driveway I am not sure what I would have done!

I would put her in the back seat and move the car.

not sure. i would have done either what you did or leave him in the house. my main hesitation about putting him in the front seat while driving (i mean, not really "driving" but just moving) is that i *know* LO would go ballistic on every car ride thereafter because he would be relegated back to the car seat. i don't want to deal with that super tantrum.
