can you remove your infant from a car seat in Michigan and breastfeed while the car is moving?

Answer 1

it doesn't matter if you are in Michigan, Florida, or Texas . . you don't remove any child from a car seat in a moving vehicle . . that is disaster waiting to happen ...... pull over and feed the baby and then resume your travel .......

Answer 2

Children from birth through age three be properly restrained in a child safety seat in the vehicle. I would think it's highly dangerous to take a child out of a seat at anytime when a car is moving b/c at anytime you can be involved in an accident that could severly hurt or kill your child. You should either pull over to feed the child, feed the child with a bottle while its still in the seat, or wait until you get where you need to be to feed the baby if possible. Don't risk your child's life...

Answer 3

No.

Michigan law is very clear on this subject.

Child Passenger Safety Law

Michigan law requires:

Children from birth through age three be properly restrained in a child safety seat in the vehicle.

Children who are four years old but less than sixteen years old must use a safety belt no matter where they are riding in the vehicle.



If you are going on a long trip you can pump breast milk and keep it chilled until time to use it.

Answer 4

Your child has to be in the car seat while the car is in motion. Think of what would happen if the driver got into an accident while you were breast feeding. The infant could fly out of your arms through the windshield or worse he/she could be smashed into the dashboard.

Answer 5

I don't know about the laws there, but it is a very bad idea! An unrestrained baby will be projected from the car like a missile in an accident. Better to let him or her cry for a few minutes 'till you can stop the car. A little hunger mught make it cranky, but a trip through the windscreen will probably make it dead!

Answer 6

in case you start up with only an toddler vehicle seat you'll ultimately want a convertible vehicle seat even as your toddler receives too vast for the toddler vehicle seat. in case you start up with a convertible vehicle seat from the very beginning you'll in no way want an toddler vehicle seat. in easy words toddler vehicle seats detach from the bottom as a service. you are able to carry your toddler round in an toddler vehicle seat, yet once you've a convertible vehicle seat, you need to take toddler/toddler out of vehicle seat and go away the vehicle seat contained in the vehicle. you won't be able to deliver a convertible vehicle seat into shops, and so on.

Answer 7

no and why would you want to do that. your child is very precious and no driver is 100% safe. you could be in an accident and your child could be killed or seriously injured then you would be caring this guilt around the rest of your life. if you have to, pull over on the side of the road to feed them. who cares what people will think while you are doing this at least your child will live.

Answer 8

You can, but it might be illegal. What you're asking is whether you may. That I don't know since I don't know the laws of your state. But, what I do know is, you're insane if you do. You're putting the babies life in danger just taking it in the vehicle, much less holding it while the vehicle is moving.

Answer 9

I don't about the law but wouldn't that be potentially dangerous. What would happen if you were in an accident and your baby wasn't in his/her car seat?

Answer 10

Of course not! Who would actually do that anyway? That's what they invented breast pumps for. Put the milk in a bottle as opposed to risking your child's life. Make sense?
