cover of the new york post may 16, 2006

ok, i'm just going to say this and you can all send me hate mail. i feel bad for britney, here she is alone with cameras and possibly a helicopter(??) taking photos of her. i think they (the post, and various other tabs) gave her a raw deal in this case, because there are millions of parents and care-givers that make similar mistakes (no i'm not going to pull names, but i do know someone that "pulled a britney spears"). no one is a perfect parent. being alone in a car with an infant (well, any young child for that matter) while driving is tough, if something happens, the baby is crying whatever, you can't do anything. what i'm saying is it is tough enough being a parent, and having your every move criticized, not to mention photographed, has to only compound the issue!

on to the issue at hand:

first of all: is it against california law for a child under the age of one to be in a forward facing car seat? no.
should the car seat be facing the opposite direction: yes.
should the kid be properly strapped in? yes.
if the kid was properly strapped in would he be slumped over? hmmm doubtful, but possible.
is little sean wearing sunscreen?: let's hope so!

the bottom line, this "offense" is not nearly as egregious as her previous car seat debacle. hopefully, brit will learn the hard way-- always strap him in and a little tighter and the tabs will give the girl a break. also, britney, you have people that can drive for you! seriously, what are you doing driving alone w/ baby? if it was me, i would take a friend, assistant, husband, bodyguard with me, just to make sure there is an extra set of hands!
