It's definitely possible! However, one needs to be careful to:
a) do not prop a leg up under yourself or loosen the seatbelt, this
endangers the mother in a crash
b) do not put your weight on the baby's carseat! These seats are not
designed to withstand an extra 100lbs of pressure in a crash. You could
crush the baby if this happened.
I am lucky enough that if I sat up straight and leaned fwd a little I could
nurse my baby in the carseat without leaning over the child, but not
everyone can. I have a friend who can nurse while the child is fwd facing
and she is still in her proper place as well. Would never have believed it
if I hadn't seen it!
