Britney Spears Baby Seat Caper II

Britney Spears’ baby adventures continue.

First Mommy Spears-est got nailed for driving with her baby son in her lap like a toy poodle. Now she could be busted for improperly installing a child safety seat in her car, state officials say.

The pregnant pop princess was spotted tooling around in her convertible Mini Cooper with 8-month-old Sean Preston slumped over in a forward-facing car seat. Federal regulations say kiddie seats should face backward until a child is a year old. “It’s far safer if the seat is facing backwards to avoid head-on injuries and whiplash in case of a collision,” said California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall.

Spears, 24, “could be” cited for violating Section 27360 of the California Vehicle Code, which says child safety seats must be installed to comply with the federal standard. “We would have to witness the violation. We can’t issue a citation from a photograph,” Marshall said.

Miu von Furstenburg has several photos of the incident.

The first thing that comes to my mind, naturally, is Why does Britney Spears drive a Mini Cooper?! She’s got lots of money. What not a nicer car? If she wants a roadster, there are several better options above the $16k range.

Update: trikc has nothing whatsoever to say about this.
