Checklist for Premature and Low Birth Weight Infant Use
See "Securing the Child" on pgs. 115 - 127 and take note of the following:
•
The Infant Insert is positioned in the car seat and is required for infants
between 1.4 - 2.7 kg (3 - 6 lbs).
•
The Harness is positioned at or below the infant's shoulders. Remove
the harness covers to check for harness strap positioning. Harness covers
can be replaced after appropriate harness height is determined.
•
There is no gap between the infant and the buckle. If there is a gap, insert
a small folded wash cloth between the buckle strap and the infant after the
child is fully harnessed.
•
Chest clip is positioned at armpit level. Harness covers must be removed
if they push the chest clip down below armpit level.
•
Harness must be snug.
•
Your infant's clinical team must approve of use and fit. Discuss with
the clinical team whether your hospital plans to conduct an angle tolerance
test prior to discharge. See pgs. 9 - 10 for more details on this testing
recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
