Here is what I found:

"Although Iowa has no laws regarding leaving children unattended in vehicles, this practice is highly discouraged. During the summer months, the temperature in a car can reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit in just 20 minutes, even if the windows are cracked. A young child may also accidentally put the car in motion, causing a potentially life threatening situation."

However, If a child dies or is injured as a result of you leaving them unattended you can be arrested and charged with child endangerment.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
