But from what the law enforcement spokesmen said in a recent news report, if Sean was of the weight limit, he could be placed FF. But come on now, why don't any of you talk nice about her when she's seen with her son, and they look good? Why not quit already? Sean isn't your son, nor can you do anything about it. 90% of all child seats are installed wrong. Do you harass others when you see their seats are wrong? If not, please start now.

"The bottom line is that if an officer saw her, one officer could have said it was no problem, and another could have given her a citation." http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=223456&GT1=7702 check your facts everybody... everyone’s CA state law stuff is wrong too: “The vehicle code doesn’t say you have to have the baby seat in a rear-facing position,” but does maintain following federal guidelines, he said. “The bottom line is that if an officer saw her, one officer could have said it was no problem, and another could have given her a citation.”

So help me out here... does this make her a good mom? I do mind my own kids and I also volunteer my time to check carseats in my community. I had to take a 32 hour course, like all CPS Technicians, just to do this. Many of us do this strictly as volunteer work. We are trained to spot misuse, and see it in about 90% of all seats we check. For those of you reminising about the good old days when no-one made a fuss over such silly matters like carseats... did people drive with cellphones then? What about the speed limit? Were the roads as busy? Was there as much road rage and tailgating? People just don't get why we do what we do. Imagine if 90% of all lifejackets were defective? How about 90% of all fire alarms in schools? What if 911 service was out 90% of the time? When the LEADING cause of death in children is automobile accidents and those are almost always preventable by proper carseat use, do you see why we make a big deal? So am I losing sleep over little SPF? Hardly. But I can totally invision what would happen in a crash... the carseat would fail due to improper use (and don't anyone say that they were within the law... crash dynamics don't check with state law before snapping little necks)and then Britney would blame the paparazzi who was chasing her, looking to get the next big shot of her carseat blunders, then a bunch of uniformed, ignorant fans would come to her defense and say that the carseat didn't work, and that it wasn't her fault... is this scenario really that far-fetched? oh, wait, I forgot. celebrities don't get in car crashes. Never mind my rambling. I can’t get over all the people defending Britney, whose only pathetic comebacks are something to the effect of that this doesn’t make her a bad mom.

I haven't heard one yet that is a good enough reason for me to change my mind and subject my kids to a very real risk of paralysis or death. The 12 month AND 20 pound rule is not a casual rule-of-thumb. It is an absolute minimum point to allow a child to be front-facing, based on statistics. It is also strongly endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, who also recommend children remain rear-facing as long as possible. “First of all, it is unnecessarry and RUDE for you to call me an idiot.

If a front-facing baby under a year old or under 20 pounds is in a frontal crash, there is
a real risk of severe complications to the spinal cord, or even death. A rear-facing seat
would greatly reduce these risks. In fact, when used correctly, rear-facing seats are so
