Angel, I wouldn't do that. Why? (because I don't carry a purse <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />) Because if you get a accident the purse-strap
can wrap itself around or get in the way of the release-button of the seat-belt, preventing you from opening your
seatbelt and escaping in a emergency.
(a woman died that way once. She drove into the water and couldn't get her seatbelt undone,
because the purse was blocking the release button. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )

If it fit's, I would put the purse into the glove box.

Just my 2 cents
