A young girl is safe and sound with her family after she was caught in a carjacking in Queensland's southeast.

A woman and her two daughters, three and 10, were waiting in a Laidley car park on Wednesday night when an unknown man dragged the 41-year-old woman from the driver's seat by her hair.

The mother was able to pull her 10-year-old from the car, but the man sped away with the younger girl still trapped in her car seat.

He stopped the car nearby and left the girl unharmed on the side of the road.

Police are still hunting for the man and the car.
