4. Positioning and Securing Your Child in the Car Bed
Premature and/or low birth weight infants have special medical needs that will influence how your child should lay in the car bed. This car bed is designed so babies can lay on their backs or on their sides. Under certain circumstances, it may be preferable to have babies lie on their stomachs. Consult your doctor about how your child should be positioned for travel. If it is necessary for your child to lie on their stomach, never use additional padding or blankets in the head area or near the baby’s face. Always watch your baby closely.
Failure to properly position and secure your child in the car bed increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Even when the car bed is not in a vehicle, secure your child with the harness.
In a crash, the car bed provides NO protection for your child unless the harness straps are properly secured.
Follow these instructions carefully to properly position and secure your child.
