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.
