I'm a bit behind and I know this is getting to be an old thread but I
can't help but reply.  I was able to nurse my daughter quite well in the
carseat when she was a baby.  The law requiring carseats had just passed
( she is now 14).  My breasts did not in any way resemble the ones in the
Natl. Geographic. The carseat faces backwards and you simply lean forward
and down.  I even managed to nurse her when she was older and the seat
faced forward.  She absolutely hated not being in my arms and the only
solution (other than never going anywhere) was to nurse her till she fell
asleep after which I assumed a more comfortable position.  Life
necessitates flexibility and we can't do things perfectly all the time.
I figured a screaming child was more of a hazard then me not being
securely belted.

When I had no choice but to travel alone with her I employed bottles of
water (which she hated) or various other methods of occupying her.  Give
moms a break for doing the best they can under the circumstances, it's
tough enough without having to be PC in everything we do.  (I'm with Dr.
Jack on that one!)

Adele Delgado, in the mountains above San Diego where the nearest store
is 30 minutes one way and "town" is an hour and thankful  not to have
little kids in carseats anymore!
