  If DH is with her in the car I don't think it's a big deal. Why don't you go somewhere with her driving and then you can assess her driving for yourself? Some people are good drivers even before getting their license and some have been driving 20 years and are still terrible.

  I don't think it's bitchy. I haven't even felt comfortable with my hubby driving alone with the baby for long distances bc I'm crazy and paranoid. He's always the driver (I hate driving in the NY/NJ area) and he's an excellent driver but i still think something bad will happen if i'm not there if we go long distances.

  
  

  So i'd just say, hey i think it's great that you're helping your little sister with her driving. But I'm not comfortable with the baby being in the car. Can she drive to pick him up but then you drive when he's in the car and coming home instead?

  We live in a high traffic area near Denver. If it were just slow side streets I may be more comfortable but it's a lot of crazy highways and busy streets.

  I would not be okay with this. I agree with PP it's nice of him to help his sister but he needs to do it without the baby in the car.

  I wouldn't be okay with it either.  I agree with above and let her drive to get the baby and once baby is in the car DH has to drive.  I think that's totally fair.

  Thanks for the input everyone! I went to DH and explained myself and he said that was the first time she's driven back but he understands.

  @jdoud77‌ that's a good way to go about it. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable with someone like that driving with LO in the car, heck I'm only comfortable with DH or I driving.

  I agree that side streets would be a total different story, like if it was in the neighborhood. Busy highways etc, would make me really uncomfortable too.. To a certain extent it's important to trust his judgment call but if I were in your shoes I would have done the same thing and told him it makes me uncomfortable.

  I would absolutely tell H no way. I do to even let grandparents drive my kids anywhere though. I'm a little paranoid.

  Glad you brought it up & got resolution. I don't even let my mom who's almost 70 drive M. She's a total speed racer!

  I wouldn't let her. I would just tell DH you would rather have a more experienced driver behind the wheel when your child's is riding in the car.
  
  ETA: I just saw your comment about talking to DH. Good for you for finding a solution.
