The Car Seat Challenge
A Comprehensive Program to Perform Car Seat Safety Testing
Car Seat Challenge

Children's Medical Ventures' Car Seat Challenge initiative supports car seat testing for premature and low birth weight infants. Developed in conjunction with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines as outlined in its article Safe Transportation of Premature and Low Birth Weight Infants, the Car Seat Challenge provides families and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) staff with a comprehensive program to perform car seat testing in the hospital prior to discharge.

Research indicates that some infants, particularly those born at less than 37 weeks gestation, may be subject to transient episodes of bradycardia, apnea and oxygen desaturation when traveling in a standard car safety seat.

As part of the Car Seat Challenge, ChMV has developed the Car Seat Challenge Knowledge Pack.
