Always consult a medical professional before the selection of
the type of restraint used.
It is recommended that the child be transported in the supine
(on his back) position using the restraint bag or 3-point har-
ness, unless the medical condition requires that the child be
transported in the prone position (on her stomach). The
prone position must have medical approval
.
Restraint Bag Selection
The strength of the small and large restraint bags are the
same. Restraint bag selection must be based on child’s body
and shoulder size. The child’s head size, body type, or pres-
ence of a cast can cause his weight to reach 10 lbs. before he
is physically ready to be moved to the large restraint bag.
The small restraint bags (including side facing) are labeled
with a weight range of 4.5 to 10 lbs. However, the child must
stay in the small bag (even if above 10 lbs.) until the bag can
no longer be zipped all the way up comfortably because of
body, neck, or shoulder size.
