A preterm infant or low birth weight infant
(preemies) may be at special risk in a vehicle
or aircraft.
According to the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP), these infants may suffer
breathing difficulties if improperly reclined in
a child restraint.
When installing the child restraint
rear-facing, use corrected age for preemies
see pg. 37 for more information.
Graco advises that you have your
physician or hospital staff evaluate
your infant and recommend the proper child
restraint or car bed before you and your infant
leave the hospital.
