It happened on Monday on Riverfront Drive in Mankato, the Free Press says.
The child's mother, who had just put the kid and seat in the car without securing it, returned after realizing what had happened. But the video shows she closed the door and kept on driving.
The cops want her charged with child endangerment.
The child is OK.
Minnesota law requires children under age 8 to be in a child safety seat, which must be used "according to the manufacturer's recommendations."
