That law is so famous, that even people here had to search websites to find out what it's all about.

I didn't know either. I don't even think my country has that law...

Either way, looks like Britney did a good deed there. She went and made it famous. Now more people will remember it and less kids will be at risk. Looks like those photographers are good for something afterall!

That sounds like you're making excuses for her. I've never seen someone make so many mistakes with their children in a 4 month span. I'm not saying she's a bad mother. I can't. I have no proof except for what's being shown to us by the media. She just needs someone to help her out so she'll stop making so many mistakes.

How do we know Sean isn't over 20 pounds?

FoxNews.com: When it comes to driving with her baby, Britney Spears just can't get it right.

After causing an international uproar by driving with her infant unsecured in her lap, Spears, sporting curlers in her hair, was snapped driving in Malibu with the baby strapped in the back seat -- but facing the wrong way.

Babies under 20 pounds or less than a year old should have their car seats facing backward, according to California motor-vehicle codes, and 8-month-old Sean Preston is facing forward as Spears rolls along in her Mini Cooper with its top down.

"The seat is facing the wrong way. We like it when the child's head is facing back," said California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall.

Since CHiP officers didn't actually witness Spears driving with Sean facing the wrong way, they won't consider citing her. CHiP is also unlikely to file a report with L.A. County social workers, Marshall said, despite earlier parental missteps by Spears.

Spears sparked universal scorn from advocates and experts when photographers captured her driving with Sean in her lap with no restraints at all when he was only a few months old.

Then, just last month, Sean's highchair collapsed, leaving him with a bump on his head. Spears took him to a doctor, who deemed the fall an accident but was obligated by state laws to call social workers.

Child advocates inspected Spears' home in Malibu and cleared her of any wrongdoing.

A lawyer for Spears insisted Monday that the pop princess didn't violate either the letter or spirit of California child-safety-seat laws in the latest flap.

"There is no law in California requiring rear-facing car seats," mouthpiece Martin Singer said.

"Britney Spears was in total compliance with California law with the forward-facing child-safety car seat with the baby strapped in properly in the back of the car."

A representative with L.A. County's child-welfare agency could not be immediately reached.

A child safety-seat violation costs $371 -- a fine that would double on each repeat offense -- but Spears could have even escaped this penalty, due to a loophole in Golden State codes.

California mandates that parents install child-safety seats in their cars in accordance to national standards. But CHiP spokesman Marshall said the federal guidelines only "strongly suggest" that kids ride in backward-facing seats if they're younger than 12 months or weigh less than 20 pounds.

"If this were a traffic stop, it would be up to an officer's discretion whether to give out a citation or a verbal lecture," Marshall said. "In other words, if they stop you and realize you were unaware and are able to correct the situation, then they might let you off with a verbal warning and not a citation."

A CHiP expert on car seats said countless studies and simulated crashes show that smaller kids benefit from a rear-facing position.
"It's more beneficial for a smaller child, who doesn't have as much control of their body as an older child, to be rear-facing," said CHiP Officer Sheri Jones, who specializes in car-seat safety.

Sony BMG: Britney did not break law

Britney Spears did not break state law by allegedly driving with her baby in a forward-facing car seat, her record company says.

Sony BMG was responding to reports of a photograph of Spears driving in Malibu, California, with Sean Preston, one, in the back facing forward not back.
Spears, who is now pregnant with her second child, was in "total compliance" with Californian law, Sony BMG said. In February, she was photographed driving with her son on her lap. The 24-year-old later said she was frightened by paparazzi chasing her but admitted she had made a mistake on that occasion.
'Not compulsory'
In a statement, Sony BMG said state law required that "all children under the age of six or weighing less than 60lbs be in safety seats in the back seat of the car". It added rear-facing car seats were compulsory neither in California nor many other parts of the US. "In fact, there are only 10 [states] that require a child to be in a rear-facing car seat, and in two of those states it is not required if the infant is more than 20 lbs. Britney's son Sean weighs over 20 lbs."
Spears achieved global fame at the age of 17, with her number one single Hit Me Baby One More Time, going on to sell millions of albums.
But she has put her music career on hold to bring up her child, releasing her last album - a greatest hits compilation - in 2004. Spears married her husband Kevin Federline, 28, in September 2004. Sean Preston was born a year later.

Well then. It's a good thing she didn't do anything wrong and put her son in danger...again.

However, she still needs her mom or someone around to help her out. Well at least that's what I think.
