There are enough incidences of carjackings with a (human) baby in the car and also smash and grab robberies that I'm not taking ANY chances. All you have to do is turn your back for a few seconds. She's secured in her car seat, but anyone trying to grab her and run could hurt her badly in the attempt. Same reason I don't ever open the window on her side of the car.
On the plus side, this extra precaution makes me pay better attention to my gas gauge and I usually keep a pretty full tank of fuel as a result. Before Tallulah I could be running on fumes before I'd stop for gas.
