Britney Moment: Moving the Car With the Kids
The car has to be moved just a few hundred feet, and it’s just you and the kid at home. So do you do the whole “strap them in the carseat” routine for a few seconds of rolling?
Or do you plop them in the front seat or your lap for a bit of “helping” steer? Continue reading »
