I would not think this is such a big deal, except what happens if she gets into a car accident (even a minor one)?

Does the baby get smashed by the airbag? Would it slam into the steering wheel/dashboard/etc.? It sounds like she was putting her child at extreme risk (especially if she was driving distracted because of the breastfeeding).

Will the baby be charged as an accessory?

Those passing young Catherine Donkers
on the turnpike all thought her quite bonkers;
her child in her lap,
with no safety strap,
was making poor use of her honkers.

She was udderly crazy.

[DeFault User]

She's been charged with not having an operators' license, obstructing official business, and child endangering.

A true multitasker. Was she also putting on makeup and driving while yakking?

[Consort]

Busted.

Hold muh ...

For some reason, this thread made me think of you. ;)

In many states it's legal to take your baby out of the carseat in a moving car to "tend to basic needs" (like feeding, diaper changes.) But I'm thinking doing that while driving is a bad bad bad idea. Atleast no one got hurt. If my kids are out of their carseat, the car is stopped. Even if my toddler gets himself out of his carseat, I pull over whereever I am and put him right back in after a decent little swat to the bottom for getting out of it.

Except for the obvious safety issue, I don't see that much of a problem here. Kid's gotta eat, and they're generally not very sensitive about choosing a convenient dinnertime.

Yes, she should have pulled over before feeding the child. But its hardly something worth sending her to Devil's Island.

Michigan or Bust.

"Short people got... no reason.."

Probably turn out the kid is 35!

This is nothing. You should see the soccer moms in minivans with a carload of kids. They are constantly dispensing drinks, food, breaking up fights, and responding to one whiney demand after another. All this while on the car phone.

Hey Bubba, Yeah Billybob....Look at that, now that is something you don't see everyday!!!

Breastfeeding changes
the brain's hormonal balance.
Might help some folk drive...

Thank goodness she wasn't using a cell phone - now that would be dangerous.

Now this thread is funny!

I know I heard my mother say she did this very thing. And we all lived. It's not something I'd recommend to the lesser intellects who cannot handle driving and eating McDonalds freedom fries at the same time. My mother even had a college degree when she was endangering those nosey truckers.
