Preterm or

Low Birthweight Infants *

A preterm infant or low birth weight infant (preemies) may be at special risk in a vehicle or aircraft.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), these infants may suffer breathing difficulties if improperly reclined in a child restraint.

When installing the child restraint rear-facing, use corrected age for preemies (see pg. 37 for more information).

Graco advises that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate

your infant and recommend the proper child restraint or car bed before you and your infant leave the hospital.
