    You can hold a child on your lap in a car. I suppose it's technically restrained. The car seat is if they're sitting alone.

    Thats not really what the legislation says.

    The only time its not involved is when its a Taxi, and even then thats just to absolve the driver.

    If you are in a private car then all passengers must be restrained properly, a child on your lap is not "properly".

    Bring your sling, but my only word of caution is that you will have practically zero power in your core muscles and carrying the baby in a sling just might not be physically possible for you, in addition to stitches and all else.But I'm sure your OH could carry baby if needed.I mean, if they really need to see where you are bringing the baby it's really them that will have to go to the effort to come check your car, and I doubt they have the time.
