she's an idiot, nappy & was most likely not prepared for motherhood, but give her a bit of a break. in this instance, she tripped, yeah thats never happened to anyone, and iirc they showed her in the restaurant/store/whatever after it happened, crying, which one could assume she understood the gravity of what just happenened. she was an idiot for driving with him in her lap, no excuse for that one. with the car seat incident, it would be best if they had the seat facing backwards but i thought it was explained that he didn't have to be by law due to his size. let's face it though, she was driving a mini cooper, had they been in an accident they would be pretty screwed, no matter what, anyway.
