Jennifer Garner was almost sent into a panic during a shopping trip on Thursday, when she accidentally locked her two-year-old daughter in the car with her keys.
The Elektra star had just arrived at the Brentwood Country Mart in California when she climbed out of her Lexus without her car keys and closed the door behind her - forgetting the car doors had been set to auto-lock, according to celebrity blogger PerezHilton.com.
But Garner was able to breathe a sigh of relief when she was able to instruct clever Violet - her daughter with husband Ben Affleck - how to open the doors, freeing herself from the vehicle within minutes.
The tot emerged triumphant, clutching the car keys as she smiled at a delighted Garner, before mother and daughter continued with their girls' day out.
