Babies love sleeping in the car!

The ryhtymic motion of a moving vehicle lulls babies to sleep.   It even lulls other passengers to sleep on car rides!

​

Babies sleeping peacefully on a car ride is great!  Once the car has stopped, and the baby is taken out of the car, is it important to transfer the baby to a flat surface.

​

When baby is in the home = baby is sleeping on a flat surface.

​

We know, no one wants to wake a sleeping baby.  We also know babies left in carseats have a much higher chance of SIDS.  Transferring a sleeping baby may wake them a bit, but it also may save their life.

​

There is a significant suffocation hazard if you keep the baby in the car seat.  The head/neck & trunk flexion of a baby's body decreases their air flow, oxygen levels and has caused infant death.
