Is it safe for children out of a booster seat to use a lap-belt only? Dh had
to get a new car, and it's a 5-seater but the middle one in the back has
only a lap-belt. I have one child in a booster seat still, but would it be
safe for one of the other two to sit in the lap belt? ...

What fish can a 1+ year old have now? (before I call my Ped). And how

1. Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because
they contain high levels of mercury.

So, like......a kid is born in, say, 2002.
In late 2004, her mommy is detained under virtual house arrest.
Kid disappears.
Mommy is impoverished, imprisoned and tortured.
