From kids like mine. My 4 year old son crushed the canopy of my sedan this morning with -just- his feet in a couple minutes of unsupervised fun. The interior light was below the level of the front seat headrests....
4 is a bit young to leave unsupervised. If you want good advice on this, just watch Leave it to Beaver. Just remember, being a good parent will not keep you out of jail, nor will it keep the authorities from taking your children away from you. Good luck!
