Pop star Britney Spears' parenting mistakes are being used by a baseball team to make a positive difference.

According to contactmusic.com, Spears was criticised earlier in the year for driving her then eight-month-old son in her lap and then later had him in a car seat facing the wrong direction.

The baseball team is set to host a "Britney Spears Baby Safety Night" where fans will get information on car seat safety. Members also qualify to win a free car seat.

Spectators can attend the event for free if they either bring a baby or child aged four or under, carry a baby toy or just simply dress up as babies themselves.
