Dad Brett Rhodes said: "My mum put her in the car seat, she still had the car keys in her hand because she likes to lock the front door, without realizing my mum shut the car door, walked to the driver's door and my daughter had pressed the lock button and dropped the keys.

"She rang the fire brigade to see if they could break in, so they came and within 10 minutes of locking the car she was out.

"She was fine until they smashed the window which made her jump - no drama just a lesson learned and a funny story for when she's older."
