Thanks for this Derwood. That right there is the endagerment part.
My wife and I made a 6,500 km (approx) road trip with a nursing baby, and for me whenever he needed to nurse it was the only break I would get from driving. I'd pull over, grab a quick stretch and then a short catnap. When finished with the nursing back in the car seat he'd go, and only then resume driving.
This habit paid off big time when we hit a moose with an escort. Our baby was just fine in his car seat.
FYI My uncle is a long time paramedic, and says the worst of the worst things he has seen are a result of babies and small children not buckled in properly.
