A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a new guardian about car seat safety. Which of the following statements by the guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?
"I should place the car seat rear-facing until my baby is 12 months old."
"I should position the retainer clip at the top of my baby's abdomen."
"I should position my baby's car seat at a 45" angle in the car
"I should place the harness snugly in a slot above my baby's shoulders."
The Correct Answer is C
A. The car seat should remain rear-facing until at least age 2, or until the child reaches the maximum height and weight limit specified by the manufacturer, not just until 12 months.
B. The retainer (chest) clip should be positioned at the level of the infant's armpits, not the abdomen, to ensure proper restraint.
C. Positioning the car seat at a 45° angle helps keep the infant’s airway open and reduces the risk of aspiration or airway obstruction.
D. For rear-facing seats, the harness straps should be at or below the baby's shoulders, not above.
