Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta on Monday chided pop star Britney Spears as "irresponsible" for driving with her baby son on her lap as he announced a new initiative to improve child car seat safety.



"Recent photos of Britney Spears driving with her infant son on her lap are troubling. And while Ms. Spears has acknowledged her mistake, her actions still send the wrong message to millions of her fans," Mineta said at an event at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to mark the start of Child Passenger Safety Week.

Photos published earlier this month showed Spears driving her sport utility vehicle in Malibu, Calif., with her 4-month-old son perched on her lap. The pop star acknowledged that she made a mistake but said she acted instinctively amid a frightening encounter with paparazzi.

"No matter who you are, there's absolutely no excuse for this display — not instinct, not fear, not even reckless paparazzi," Mineta said. "It's irresponsible to compromise the safety of a child for the sake of the moment."
