Our 6 month old child must have eaten too much or had an upset stomach and began to vomit. My wife and I begin to panic because of possible choking. So we are doing 40 mph on road with no shoulder and cars all around looking for a place pull off. But he's not choking yet, so I'm still driving. Finally a shoulder, so I pull off and stop. This is a rental car, but is no different from many other cars in that much to our dismay she finds that although she can open her door and get out she can't get into his door) because problem #1 it's one of those cars that has the doors that lock automatically when you take it out of park or move more than 5mph or something like that. So now we are fighting with the buttons on our respective doors, both trying to unlock his door, in our panic not thinking through that maybe I have to put it in park and they'll all unlock themselves. Now I'm panicking again - she's about to crawl over the seat, I'm about to start tearing pieces off this car but I can't get out cause cars are flying by my side. So she finally reaches around and unlocks his door from the inside and gets him out of the car seat. He's ok. Whew! I really believe these auto locks are a bad idea, and I have from the start, but now I know I never ever want a car of mine to have that feature and I will always disable it. In the meantime I have learned that while I have this rental car I can wait for the doors to lock and hit the unlock button and they will stay unlocked. Which brings me to problem #2. The unlock button on the door does not have the same symbols on it as the unlock button on my remote car key. And the symbols on the door button are far too small - I have to lean forward and squint to figure out which position is "unlock. " the car key has the symbols of an open padlock and closed padlock. These to me should be the same symbols used on the door button - they should be a universal symbol, and they should be big enough to see from my seat.
