For the past week I've been playing Mr. Mom. Which means I've been carting both kids around in the 911. My youngest (Ella) is 9 months old. My oldest (Cole) is 3 years old. Cole rides in the back seat in a Graco Comfort Sport, front facing seat (thanks Vu ). Ella rides in the front seat in a Graco rear facing infant seat. She has to ride in the front because a rear facing seat won't fit in the rear. The car has no airbags, and after checking with the FF County Police, found it not to be illegal.
This morning I was accosted by a Honda Odesey driving soccer mom in the parking lot of Target at seven corners. We had both arrived at the same time and were both unloading the kids. She looked over while I was unbelting Ella's car seat from the front seat. She imediately asked if the car had airbags. I replied, no. She then said, "I know you think it's fun to drive around with the kids in your little sports car but your putting them in danger". Then she told me she was a volunteer tech (?) and that every time she saw a person driving with thier child in the front seat she would cringe. That it was the most dangerous place for a child to be. I told her that a rear facing child seat wouldn't fit in the rear of the car. And futher more, this only being a two door, in a major impact, the extraction crew would have a more difficult time getting them out of the rear of the car. She then told me to go check out a safty website and then see how I feel about putting my kids in harms way.
It took everything I had not to let her have it. But I had my two kids and she had her 4-5 year old daughter with her. I thanked her for the suggestion and went into the store.
What's kind of ironic is when I saw her in the store shopping, she had her daughter in the cart standing up. Every cart in that store has a diagram of how not to carry your child in a shopping cart.

Anyway, I'd love to open a can of worms on this one and get some other viewpoints, opinions, experiences.
