Car seats for preterm infants

• Less than 5 ½ inches (about 14 cm) from the crotch strap to the seat back
• Less than 10 inches (about 25 ½ cm) from the lower harness to the seat bottom

Place the baby in the seat with their buttocks and back flat against the seat. You can place padding or "inserts" on both sides of the baby to help support their head and neck. The shoulder straps are in the lowest slots, and the clip is at chest level.
