There are numerous responsibilities that come with being a parent, many of which people like to argue about. However, one that is pretty much indisputable is that you are responsible for your child's safety, especially when they are very young. Babies are both fragile and helpless, and it is easy for a lot to go wrong if you do not pay attention.

This is exactly what happened after one mom posted about checking on her newborn baby after asking her husband to strap her into a car seat. His interpretation of her instructions was incompetent to say the least, and it wasn't long before that was picked up on by the wider internet as an unacceptable level of hazard.
