No flame, just a better suggestion of putting the baby bag in the front seat to remind the driver about the kid. Personally my three kids rode in the front seat while I was driving, partly because I always wanted them to be within reach in case of choking or some such. Once I put my toddler in the back seat and, as I was tooling along the five-land interstate in an urban area, I looked in the back mirror and saw her twirling around the seatbelt. She had dismantled the belt itself from the buckle and so the buckle was still in place but the belt was completely out of the buckle mechanism. (This was the late 80s.) She is still a dismantler. Those sort of things made me want to keep her within reach. Of course, our cars didn’t have airbags and I do understand the problem now. That’s why that suggestion is so good.
