RE: two keys I don't know the car maker's reasons, but my mom kept them on separate key chains. If the kids got antsy, you could send them out to the car with no fear they would start the engine. The flip side of that is you can lock the kids in the car with the motor running and the air conditioning or heater on and not wear the battery down. We were old enough to know not to crawl over into the front seat, so no chance of knocking the car out of Park. (Back then, bench seats like the Impala's were norm. The only cars that had bucket seats were expensive things like Jaguars and Porches.
