What Happens if the Infant Fails the Car Seat Trial?
If the infant shows signs of distress or instability during the car seat trial, several steps may be taken: - Reevaluation: The healthcare team will reassess the infant's medical condition to identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed. - Repeat Trial: A repeat car seat trial might be conducted after a period of observation or treatment. - Alternate Transportation: If the infant continues to fail the car seat trial, alternative transportation methods, such as a car bed, may be recommended. Car beds allow infants to lie flat, reducing the risk of respiratory compromise.
