It can happen so fast – thanks for your story. You always have to be vigilant on the road and certainly with children who are there one minute and gone the next.

Lucky he was around to take her back off the road.

An impatient driver could so easily have swung into that lane to get past and taken out that kid! Thank goodness the driver has the foresight to block the lane and the rest of the traffic seemed at a standstill :/

Lucky that man was watching the road. I hope the family are grateful

What a nice guy to stop and make sure he is ok …. shame on the parents not keeping an eye on their child and not running out to say thanks!!

How scarey was it watching this?! Just look at the amount of traffic on that road! That baby is very lucky to be alive I say

So scary. We keep our front door key locked to help prevent accidents!

Luckily that that man saw it and intervened!!

Both the children should not be in the front yard unsupervised.
No front gates closed. From the photo I’m not sure if there is a gate on the right side or the way the fence is built. The older boy would be able to reach the door handles and locks but I don’t think the toddler could unless it was fitted even lower than the standard ones are now. Under some council laws you aren’t allowed a front fence. There are ways of making sections of your front yard including your driveway secure.

my toddler would do the exact same thing, we have to use dead bolts on our doors because he can unlock the usual locks, he tries to chase the postie up the road every single day!
