Some cars do not warm up in a few minutes. My tracker takes almost 8 minutes of driving before there is any appreciable heat coming from the vents. I have to carry a towel in the car because defrost only works once the heater core gets warm.
Also when one has a small baby remote start is a great tool to have. I will bear the cold for how ever long but no reason to let a baby bear it too. There are only so many blankets you can wrap a child in and still buckle a car seat in securely.
Don't get me wrong... just like with most technology there is a great purpose but more often than not it is abused and it becomes wasteful.
