Okay...I am totally ashamed after reading all of your posts. My 2 girls sit on my lap, and I can use my cell phone and shift too! Can you believe it? I am totally soooo ashamed! You guys are so right....I wouldn't let my grandkids or myself go without one, so why would I do that to my precious girls, especially with the airbags in the front. Next time I am in Petsmart, I am getting one of those. My bad.
