While you haven't put up much of an argument, I ask you to consider the fact that these children are likely to be put in much more danger if taken out of the vehicle in certain circumstances, as children being hit by a car in a parking lot is a much higher risk than the dangers that may ensue while strapped in a carseat for 2 minutes. Children exposed to harsh weather conditions are much more likely to develop conditions from this (such as ear-aches, etc.) than anything that might occur in the vehicle.

This is not a case of leaving the child in the vehicle for convenience....it is a case of leaving the child in the vehicle for protection. You have to weigh the likelihood of the ensuing consequences and taking two small children out of the car is a much higher risk. Besides, if you had never left the children unattended, I suppose you must have eight arms because you are wither one of those people who do not return the shopping cart to the holder, or you can carry eight bags of groceries AND a child at the same time. I use this example because you have either left the child in the car as you unloaded the groceries OR you left the child unattended in the house while you unloaded the groceries. Leaving a child unattended in a crib can be just as dangerous as a carseat. Moreso, in fact, if there are any toys or blankets in it. I would never believe that a mother has never left her child out of reach. It is proposterous to even make this presumption.
