This car bed is designed to transport small infants lying down supine on their back
or if medically necessary, prone on their stomach or on their right side.
Before releasing an infant to be transported in this car bed, an infant born
prematurely must be evaluated per the American Academy of Pediatrics
recommendations for “Safe Transportation of Premature and Low Birth Weight
Infants” (RE9617).
Infants should be positioned supine, on the back facing up, unless the specific
medical needs of the infant require positioning them prone on their stomach or on
their right side. Infants should never be positioned on their left side in this product.
•Positioning infant on right side:
When positioned on their side, padding should be used under infant’s head to
support head and maintain an open airway. The pediatrician or hospital
designated medical staff must evaluate the infant and define the padding
necessary. Padding should be minimized and firm to avoid potential
re-breathing issues which could lead to suffocation.
❃MESSAGE TO PEDIATRICIANS AND MEDICAL STAFF
2
Pediatrician or hospital designated medical staff must educate the parent or
caregiver on how to properly position and monitor infant in car bed.
•Positioning infant on right side:
Educate the parent or caregiver how to properly pad under the head and advise
them that padding should be minimized and firm to avoid potential
re-breathing and potential suffocation issues.
-DONOT use pillows or other soft items to pad under the head. Soft items
can present potential for re-breathing air and could lead to suffocation.
-DONOT add padding under the infant between the torso and car bed pad
or between the torso and the harness that could lead to ejection in a crash.
•Monitoring infant:
Educate parents and caregivers that due to the special medical needs of a
premature and/or low birth weight infant the condition of the infant must be
monitored at all times while in car bed. For infants positioned on their stomach
or right side, an adult must be restrained in a seating position next to the car
bed to allow visual monitoring and listening to the infant at all times.

3
Failure to follow the instructions and car bed labels can result in
infant striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.
To prevent serious injury or death to infant:
•Secure child restraint with a vehicle seat belt as shown in this
manual. Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car bed securely.
•Always secure infant and snugly adjust harness straps. DO NOT
place padding or blankets under harness straps or infant.
•Use car bed only on rear vehicle seats which are forward-facing.
Never use on front vehicle seats with an air bag, seating
locations on driver’s side of vehicle, or vehicle seats which face
the side or rear of the vehicle.
•Parent or caregiver must monitor infant’s condition at all times
while in car bed.
•Use only parts or accessories made by AngelGuard. Parts or
accessories from other manufacturers could alter the safety of
the car bed.
•Properly secure medical equipment outside of car bed.
WARNING
4
To prevent serious injury or death to infant:
•Check that car bed is not damaged or missing parts.
•Replace car bed after a crash. Never use car bed again.
To prevent serious injury or death from strangulation, suffocation, or
from falls or tipping over:
•Never leave infant unattended in car bed even when sleeping.
•Always securely adjust harness straps. Never leave harness straps
loose or unfastened.
•Only use car bed in vehicle. Car bed MUST be secured by vehicle
seat belt.
•DO NOT use car bed outside vehicle, in home, or on shopping
cart.
•DO NOT add blankets or pillows under infant. DO NOT cover
ventilation slots.
WARNING
No child restraint can guarantee protection from injury in every situation,
but proper use helps reduce the risk of serious injury or death.

❃SAFETY CHECK LIST
9
A preterm or low birth weight infant requires special care and may be at special risk
traveling in a vehicle. Consult physician or designated medical staff about
positioning and transportation requirements before you and infant leave the
hospital.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that premature infants born
at less than 37 weeks gestation be monitored for possible apena, bradycardia, or
oxygen desaturation before leaving the hospital. An infant with documented
desaturation, apnea, or bradycardia in a semi-upright position should travel in a
supine or prone position. The AAP also recommends that families minimize travel
for these infants.
This car bed is designed for use by an infant whose:
•Weight is less than 9 lbs (4.1 kg) and height is less than 20 inches (51 cm).
This car bed is not designed to protect an infant who exceeds these limits.
•Physical size allows the harness to be snugly adjusted (see page 23).
•Do not use car bed if harness can not be adjusted to snugly fit child with one
finger clearance (see page 23).
Once infant outgrows car bed, consult physician about transferring infant into
rear-facing child restraint or another special need product for a larger infant.
