Britney Spears Inspires Child Safety  8/2/06

Pop star Britney Spears' parenting mishaps are being used to make a positive difference - by minor league baseball team the Newark, New Jersey Bears.

The 24-year-old star was criticized earlier this year (06) for driving with her then 8-month-old son in her lap, and later in a car seat facing the wrong direction.

But on Friday (04AUG06), the team will host a Britney Spears Baby Safety Night, where fans will receive information on car seat safety, according to MTV News.

Members of the crowd can also enter a drawing to win a free car seat courtesy of the American Automobile Association.

Would-be spectators can attend the event for free if they either bring a baby or child aged four or under, carry a baby toy or simply go all-out and dress like a baby themselves.
