Final Safety Checks

11.Make sure child is secured with the harness according to section 4, “Positioning and Securing Your Child in the Car Bed” (page 19).

12.Make sure that apnea monitors, oxygen tanks, or other medical equipment are not placed inside the car bed. Keep this equipment outside of the car bed, secured under the seat or on the floor.

13.Make sure that the car bed is properly secured by the vehicle seat belt system by performing the following checks EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR CHILD:

a. Make sure all four feet of the car bed are resting on the vehicle seat.

b. PULL SLOWLY BUT FIRMLY on the side handles of the car bed to make sure the vehicle seat belt does not lengthen at all and that the seat belt is fastened very tightly around the car bed. It should not move side-to-side or front-to-back. If you find that your vehicle seat belt becomes loose, make sure you have followed steps 1-10 correctly, or see section 2, “Choosing a Suitable Location for the Car Bed” (page 9). DO NOT use this seating location if the seat belt does not hold the car bed very tightly.
