Is it ok to leave my baby in the flat alone?

Context -

Top floor flat (3 floors up) No lift.

Car is parked someway across the communal car park - space is not right by the back door.

I'm really struggling in this heat recently. Pram has to live in the car because there is a. no space in the flat and b. I can't carry it up 3 flights. The pram is hot to the touch in this weather, as the inside of the car is 45 degrees+. Normally, I leave any shopping I have bought in the car and other half brings it in later.

I reackon it would take approx 5 mins to go and get the stuff, leaving baby in the flat. I wouldn't be able to hear her at all, so not the same as going to the car on a driveway and leaving your front door open.

My mother says I'm being completely paranoid and ridiculous.

Yesterday I struggled with an 18lb baby, a heavy change bag (because I put some of the shopping in it!) and x2 carrier bags. It was 34 degrees and I was literally melting with sweat by the time I got into the flat.

Suggestions anyone?
