Is this bad sleeping habit?

Question

We'll not really a habit. Occasionally when we're out and about, my baby will fall asleep in her car seat and will stay asleep even when we bring her in the house. So not to wake her up, we let her continue her nap in the car seat in the house (never goes over 2hr). I'm a ftm. Is it bad that we let her just continue sleeping in there? Obviously we supervise her the entire time

Answer

I'm fairly certain your carseat manual states not do to this. Sleeping in the car is generally okay because the seat is at the proper recline for an open airway. Out of the car, the seat is not at the proper recline and even with supervision it can cause asphyxiation. Once you're no longer in the car the baby should be removed from the carseat even if it wakes them up.

Answer

Ideally, you’ll want to take baby out of the car seat when you bring her inside. If she’s still drowsy, put her in a bassinet or crib or wherever her sleeping spot is.
My son always falls asleep in the car. I have a convertible car seat, so it doesn’t detach from the base. I just take him out of the seat and carry him inside. He usually stays asleep the whole time. If he does wake up, he’s easy to rock back asleep.

Answer

Not great for their breathing but I think about the times baby has slept in the car for over an hour... What's the difference 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I wouldn’t leave a baby sleeping in a car seat just like I don’t let them sleep in a swing or bouncer. When it’s not in the base it’s not at the right angle to keep their necks from bending and cutting off their airway. Positional asphyxiation isn’t very noticeable and happens quickly.

Answer

It’s not recommended to leave them sleeping in their car seats if you’re not in the car because it’s really not a great or safe position for a baby to be sleeping in because of the position of their head.

Answer

As a little newborn, no I didn’t let my baby sleep in the car seat out of the car. As a 3 month old, yeah all the time. Always in the same room as me and I check on her often, but I try to never wake a sleeping baby lol.
