Section 6 - Securing Infant in Infant Car Seat
The Chest Clip increases the safety of the
harness by holding the shoulder straps
together.
Position the Chest Clip at arm pit level
Always use the Chest Clip when the Infant
is secured by the harness.
For a small infant a rolled towel can be used
on each side for support. Towels must not
prevent the harness from being adjusted to
a secure fit on the infant.
DO NOT place towel or other items behind
the infant or between the infant and the
harness.
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 an infant car seat.
Have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your infant in this infant 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 infant car seat. Use a car
bed for your infant.
