The AAP recommends that appropriate hospital staff observe your infant in the Child
Restraint for a period of 90 to 120 minutes or the duration of travel, whichever is longer.
This period of observation must be performed with the infant properly positioned as
described in these instructions and with the Child Restraint placed at an angle that is
approved for use in the vehicle. The hospital staff will check for any breathing difculties
or heart rate problems. Your child’s pediatrician will let you know if there are any special
considerations for travel. The number of trips and the duration of time the infant is seated
in the Child Restraint should be minimized. A caregiver should ride in the back seat to
monitor the infant during travel.
