Safety 1st Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed

***Not Approved For Use Outside of the US***The Safety 1st Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed is a FMVSS213 approved special needs transportation system for infants with low birth weight. Like a special needs car seat, the Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed comes standard with support and safety features that will provide exceptional positioning support for infants weighing between 5 and 20 pounds AND between 19-26" (48.3-66 cm) in length. The Safety 1st Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed is specifically designed for use in the back seat of a car. It is NOT recommended for use as a positioning system in airplanes. The Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed enables an infant with special needs to be positioned safely and comfortably in the car. With its standard features, this special needs car bed is sure to provide superior positioning, protecting your precious cargo. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that premature infants born prior to 37 weeks gestation require monitoring for possible apnea, bradycardia or oxygen desaturation before leaving the hospital. If any of these conditions is detected, an infant should be positioned in a supine position (lying on their back) when traveling if recommended by their licensed physician. Only place an infant prone (lying on their stomach) in the Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed if their doctor recommends this position for them specifically. The Dreamride LATCH Infant Car Bed is helping hospitals send infants with special needs home with their parents earlier. For babies weighing 4 to 5 pounds, Carseatblog.com has a comprehensive list of typically developing rear-facing car seats that have a minimum weight capacity of 4 pounds AND have "lower-than-average bottom harness slots (ideally 6″ or lower)".The American Academy of Pediatrics says this about car seats:

"Rear-facing car safety seats provide the best protection in a frontal crash, because the forces are transferred from the back of the restraint to the infant's back, the strongest part of an infant's body. The restraint also supports the infant's head. Severe tensile forces on the neck in flexion are also prevented by use of rear-facing car safety seats."
