In whatever their parents bring in for a car seat. They have to pass a car seat test, which means they have to sit in the seat for 1.5 hours without having any dips in O2 sats or heart rates, but if they can do that, they are allowed to leave. We questioned the nurse about it and she was adamant about the babies being safe in the seat, since there were rolls etc around them. When we were first in this NICU one nurse told me they had sent a 1500 gram baby home in a car seat, not a car bed. Is this ok for them to be doing??
