Infant Car Seat Tester: Hospital Discharge Equipment
When performing an infant car seat test, hospital staff usually end up on their knees on the ground. The Car Seat Tester from Patients First Products provides NICU and L&D teams with a safe, convenient way to perform an infant car seat test before discharge without effort.
This compact and portable device holds the infant carrier at the proper angle while keeping it off floors, beds, and countertops—helping improve safety, infection control, and staff ergonomics.


Product Overview
Infant car seat testing is an important step in the hospital discharge process, especially for premature or medically fragile infants. The hospital Car Seat Tester creates a stable and ergonomic testing platform so nurses can position the infant carrier at the correct incline and monitor the infant comfortably.
The carrier docks securely in a universal station designed specifically for hospital use. This helps standardize testing procedures while improving safety and workflow for clinical staff.
