They have an interview with a mom on trial for vehicular homicide (or reckless?) because she installed an infant seat in the front seat and the baby died. Should be interesting.

I am pretty sure it is illegal in all states to have a car seat in the front seat of a car.
"I was not aware that it was illegal or there were dangers of putting her in front of an airbag. I didn't even know my car was equipped with airbags," Jensen says.
I don't buy that. I just don't. Isn't there a label on every car now with a big circle with a line through it and a kid in a car seat?
