Admittedly I likely went to far with being angry. I think that comes a bit with having my own toddler and pending newborn. I know my 2.5 yr old would be finding as many possible ways out of the vehicle no matter how well trained he is.
I was more upset than I should have been.
However , I still think it reckless. The parking lot for parents is out of sight of the entrance and who really needs an Ikea hot dog so badly that you would put your kids at increased risk. Maybe now he second guesses doing it when it is +30 out.
