Babies do not have to be in a five-point harness.

I have three of them; they ALL have five-point harnesses. It takes an ADULT with two hands to get the baby out.

If you have one that doesn't have a five-point harness, you need to hurry on down to the fire station nearest you and have them give you some information on APPROVED carseats.

And I haven't seen the husband say the airbag was disabled or that the baby was in the front seat; given the wealth of information he's using to defend his wife's senseless actions, I'll have to assume it wasn't disabled or he would have told us already. I'm SURE he knows the laws.

We have one five-point harness carseat that we purchased when our state raised the age for being in a carseat to 6. We have two carseats for toddlers that are the kind with a padded front and snug-fitting belt looped through the padded front thingy. There is one latch at the front of each. One of 'em is easy to undo. The other is another story. We have never used those seats for newborn/infants. We had a special infant carseat for each of our seven. Actually, we have owned five newborn carseats over the years. None of them had five-point harnesses. Too complicated. And all are/were APPROVED. One latch for each. Slip right over baby's head. Our older children are in charge of unlatching the little ones when we get where we're going. Must be their Scottish blood that allows them to be strong enough to undo the latches.

If she'd crashed that car, the baby would have BEEN her "airbag." Or bloodbag.
