Britney Spears Does It Again: Puts Baby in Front Seat of Car

Only a day after a quote from an emotional interview with NBC's Matt Lauer surfaced on the Internet, which have Britney pleading that she's a "good mom," photographs have appeared, showing the pop princess putting her baby, Sean Preston Federline, into the front seat of her SUV. The pictures come hot on the heels of her tell-all interview, to be aired Thursday on the Today Show (7a.m.) and again on Dateline NBC (9p.m.)

X17Online.com posted pictures that show Britney Spears and manny, Perry Taylor getting into her Cadillac Escalade, with Sean Preston Federline in her arms, and not in a proper child seat in the back of the SUV.

These photos come hot on the heels of an interview done with Matt Lauer over the weekend. During the interview, MSNBC quoted Spears addressing the incident earlier in the year where she was photographed driving with baby Sean Preston Federline in her lap, and not in a baby seat. "I can't go anywhere without someone judging me...I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive. We're country." More than that, Britney would take exception to the public opinion that she isn't a good mother, saying "I know I'm a good mom."

To the paparazzi themselves, Britney told them, as individuals, "You have a life. And if you don't, you have to realize that we're people and that we... just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being,".according to CBS News.
