Oops... she did it again..... again

They make mirrors that you put on the backseat so you can see their faces and what they are doing. I had one that I got at Walmart in the baby section. It was cheap and easy to install.

Becky 2005 - My daughter was 20lbs at 5.5 months (and that was only 2.5 yrs. ago), so we had to buy an infant convertible seat - rear facing at 20 lbs., this is the kind of car seat that you needed to buy. You didn't need to face your daughter front facing at 20lbs, as convertible car seats are available. Most kids are 20lbs, way before one year old, so that is why understanding car seat safety is most important - it seems that a lot of you don't know about convertible car seats, as you are all saying you had no choice but to turn your infants front facing as they outgrew their seats - that is incorrect, what you needed to do was go out and purchase the right car seat to fit your child's developmental stage, and that would be a convertible (infants/toddlers). As well, there are harnessed second stage boosters that are front facing that go to 47lbs, and not many parents know about these either, so they have 35lb kids in regular vehicle seat belts with a booster (in my province the law states that you must be harnessed until 40lbs.)

I guess it makes me sad that there is so much confusion and misinformation about car seat safety - most of this, I am afraid is the fault of the government though. In your country you have it even worse as each state has their own car seat safety rules as well.

There's a lot of laws where you live, aren't there? Are people incapable of parenting without government intervention?

Seems quite clear if it's not a law people just won't make the best choice. I don't need a law, but it seems the majority does, Britney included. Law or no law, car seat safety is something I researched and chose not to shoot for the absolute minimum. Many are proud to barely meet the minimum, or even lower, hence the laws.

mrsltg - What a ridiculous question! Of course many people aren't capable of making informed decisions without government intervention as this thread clearly shows!

Aren't some of you 'perfect' people on here scared that your halos might slip and throttle you one day?

Imagine if a DIS'er posted one day that they drove down the road with their infant in their lap. Even though they had a friend sitting beside them in the passenger seat, they still chose to sit the baby directly in front of the airbag.

A few weeks later the DIS'er posts that their baby fell from the highchair and suffered a fractured skull. Whoops, forgot those safety straps!

A few weeks later she posts a picture of her driving down the street in her shiny new convertible with her baby in the back looking like Britney's baby looks in that picture.

I know some of you posters defending Brit and I KNOW you would freak out and said DIS'er would be topic du jour.

...I don't judge people just the way they act and she acts like a 100# girl in a 180# body thats all.

180 pounds? Geez, people call me scrawny at 5'6 125 pounds, and back in her schoolgirl-uniform video days, I must've outweighed her by a good 20-25 pounds. She's had one baby, she's pregnant with another and women's bodies change. Women of every size can be sexy and porn-star worthy.

Sorry to go OT. Not a Brittany fan, but I hate to see women get a bad rap over their bodies. Carry on....

EXACTLY!

It's amazing to me how people think we are 'perfect' parents because we don't drive with our infants on our lap, we don't drop them from their highchairs, and we don't rear face them when they should be - yikes! I guess I'll take a throttling from my 'halo' if it means that my daughter stays safe.

What a ridiculous commentary - again, it just proves the point that common sense really doesn't exist in this world!
