[blparent] Carrying a baby while out and about

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

It's not their job, it's yours to know how the carseat fits into the car
and get on e that meets the baby/child's needs and also one that can
work via the belt. 
The sit&stroll does this well. 
I also don't much care what some cabbie or any driver "would rather I
not have" I care that should we be in an accident, we've all done what
we can to survive it.
