Infant car seat testing is an important step for many infants before discharge, particularly those who require additional monitoring or evaluation.
Yet many facilities continue to perform testing using makeshift solutions that can complicate workflow and create unnecessary challenges for staff.
Common Challenges During Car Seat Testing
Without dedicated equipment, infant carriers may be placed on:
- Floors
- Chairs
- Tables
- Beds
- Countertops
These locations may be inconvenient, inconsistent, or difficult to manage within busy clinical environments.
