Britney Spears is defending her actions against allegations that she broke the law when she was photographed driving with son Sean facing forward in his car seat instead of facing the rear. According to the California motor vehicle code, it is safer for any child under twenty pounds or less than a year old to face the rear in a car seat. Britney's reps insist that Sean actually weighs more than twenty pounds, and said in a statement, "Having a child in the child safety seat facing forward in the rear seat of the car is in compliance with California law.
