INFANTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
A preterm infant or a low birth weight infant may be at special risk traveling reclined
in a vehicle or aircraft. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, these
infants may be at increased risk of suffering breathing or other difficulties if
improperly reclined or positioned in a car seat.
Have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your infant in this car seat before you
and your infant leave the hospital. If your infant is not able to travel in a reclined
position, DO NOT use this car seat. Use a car bed for your infant.
