| Of course! Laws are guidelines - my baby's comfort and happiness are more important |

Why is it so crazy if you are seatbelted while nursing your baby and you maneuver the seatbelt to cover him as well. I know its not ideal but I think in emergency situations I would do it. |
I'm not an expert, but I don't believe the seatbelt is designed to function like that so it wouldn't work correctly. Otherwise what would be the point of car seats, we'd just hold our babies and buckle them on us.

This makes much more sense to me. Leaning over a baby, unbuckled sounds nuts. There's no way my body can stretch that far.

No, I was sitting next to him, buckled in the middle of the car. I adjusted the carry handle of the infant seat so it wasn't in the way, then pulled up my shirt, unclasped my bra and leaned over so he could nurse. I stayed buckled, so did he. BH everyone was safe.
On other trips, I brought along my handheld pump, so as my husband was driving I pumped and then the baby had a bottle ready to go.

Seatbelts are not made to protect infants. It could suffocate them c’v

Seatbelts lying across the wrong part of the body can cause damage to internal organs and the spine. Furthermore, the baby would chas veshalom get crush between a locked seatbelt and the impact of your body moving forward from the impact of the accident. Please don't do this!!

It's not terribly comfortable but it works, and it's much better than stopping (not always is there a safe place to stop either) and making the trip 20 minutes longer, or having a hungry baby scream. |
I think you need to be tall for that. Believe me I tried but I'm not even close to reaching.
