Car Seats Are Not Designed for Sleeping

Dr. Elizabeth Zmuda, Co-Medical Director of Parenting at Mealtime and Playtime, says:

Car seats are for protection of a child during travel.
Infants in car seats for a long period of time can worsen a flat spot on the back of your baby’s head.
Don’t let your child sleep or relax in the car seat for long periods of time out of the car.
When your child does not need to be in a car seat, allow them to move freely and interact with them regularly.
