The code states that child safety-seats must be properly installed according to federal safety guidelines which recommend that babies up to a year old and up to 20 pounds ride in them in the back seat facing backward, Marshall said.

However, the singer's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said Spears was in "total compliance" with California state law.

She cited California Vehicle Code 27360, requiring that "all children under the age of 6 or weighing less than 60 pounds be in safety seats in the back seat of the car," Zelnik said in a statement Tuesday. "Having a child in the child safety-seat facing forward in the rear seat of the car is in compliance with California law."

"The vehicle code doesn't say you have to have the baby seat in a rear-facing position," but does maintain following federal guidelines, a guy said. "The bottom line is that if an officer saw her, one officer could have said it was no problem, and another could have given her a citation."

An onlooker told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "He didn't look properly strapped in at all. There certainly didn't appear to be any restraints on his shoulders."
Pat Bentley, of UK charity Roadpeace, said: "The child does not seem to be secured properly.
"There should be straps across the shoulders - but the way his shoulder is slumped forward, it appears there are no such straps."

In February, authorities visited Spears' home after photos showed her driving in a car with the baby on her lap, rather than in a safety seat as required by law. Spears later apologized, saying she held the boy because of an encounter with paparazzi.

While Brit, 24, ignores California child-safety laws, a source claims that Kevin, 28, continues to ignore his first family. In fact, just as Britney finally confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child, sources say his ex, Shar Jackson , may be considering legal action for Kori and Kaleb. “Shar’s kids start crying and saying, ‘why doesn’t daddy come see us anymore?�’ a close friend of Shar’s tells Star. “I believe that she’s so pissed at Kevin that she’s given him an ultimatum to call Kori and Kaleb every day and see them often, or she’ll take him to court.�

In other news, Britney has denounced Kabbalah.
Britney, who was introduced to the mystical religion by pop diva Madonna, has written a note on her website, www.britneyspears.com, saying her son is her new faith.
It reads: "I no longer study Kaballah, my baby is my religion."
