An irate boyfriend deliberately moved his car seat back to crush a three-year-old in the footwell behind him because he was too noisy, a court heard.
Stephen Waterson, 25, pushed his seat back into Alfie Lamb after he was put in the rear footwell of the Audi by his mother, Adrian Hoare, 23, it is claimed.
Waterson twice moved his seat back and 'kept it in a reversed position' until Alfie 'went ominously quiet,' the court heard.
Alfie was 'squashed and suffocated by the car seat' and died three days after suffering a cardiac arrest at the couple's home in Croydon, south London, the court heard.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson told the Old Bailey today: 'This movement was a deliberate action by Waterson, who was angered by the noise and fuss that a three-and-a-half-year-old was making during the journey.'
Waterson and Hoare lied repeatedly afterwards then assaulted the two other passengers in an attempt to cover up their crime, jurors were told.

Stephen Waterson, 25, and mother Adrian Hoare, 23, are on trial charged with the manslaughter of little Alfie
The court heard on the journey through Croydon on 1 February last year, Marcus Richardson was driving, Waterson was sitting in the front passenger seat, and Hoare was in the back with another mother, Emilie Williams.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson said: 'Until he got into that vehicle with his mother and those others, CCTV showed that Alfie had been fit and well.
'It follows that during that car journey something happened to Alfie to compress his chest and abdomen so that he went from and active toddler, to a very seriously ill and brain damaged one.'
Paramedics were called to the couple's address on the evening of February 3 to find Marcus Lamb performing CPR on Alfie.
Hoare told paramedics that they had got into a taxi and put him in a child seat where he fell asleep.
'We tried to wake him and found him unresponsive. The taxi driver kicked us out and f*****d off,' she said.
Mr Atkinson said: 'It was to be only the beginning of the lies that she and others were to tell.'
The pathologist found that Alfie had died as a result of crush asphyxia.
Mr Atkinson said: 'It was caused by the front passenger seat of the Audi vehicle, Waterson's seat, behind moved back further into the rear passenger at a time when it was known Alfie was in the footwell.'
He moved the seat into Alfie and the passengers pleaded with him to move forward because it was obvious he had hurt the boy, the court heard.
'However, when Alfie made noise again, Waterson deliberately moved his seat back again and kept it in reverse position, squashing Alfie,' Mr Atkinson said.
'He again showed signs of breathing problems until he ominously went quiet.
'Alfie's mother had a duty to protect him from avoidable harm and yet she had failed to do this by inappropriately placing a young child in the rear footwell of a moving car.
'She failed in any meaningful or sufficient way to address the consequences of Waterson's actions.
'Hoare later assaulted Williams in an argument that was no doubt related to the incident.
'Conscious that Williams was a witness to what he had done, and had spoken to the police, Waterson and others assaulted him in an act of witness intimidation on 15 February.'
Both defendants have admitted to perverting the course by submitting false statements to police.
Hoare and Waterson, from Croydon, south London, deny manslaughter.
Hoare denies further charges child cruelty for placing Alfie in the footwell and common assault on Williams on February 14.
Waterson denies intimidating Marcus Richardson, also known as Marcus Lamb, on 15 February.
The trial continues.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
