I see a lot of votes for the child locks but, while I haven't checked them,
I'm not sure I agree.

Keep in mind that I am able to open the rear doors from the inside as long
as the doors are not locked.  

I would suspect, but don't know for sure, that the child locks would prevent
you from opening the rear doors from the inside at ALL times.  Otherwise
they wouldn't be very effective (i.e. require you to lock the doors first).
Maybe that's the way they're supposed to work, but it doesn't make sense to
me.

In either case, I'll check them when I get home tonight.

Thanks guys.
