I think that the curvature of the incline in the seat may attribute to the concern rather than it just being inclined (like the rnp is). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988534 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 16:02:04 +0000 brady80 988534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there the same concerns with their airway in the rock and play? We swaddled her in the bassinet and she still only sleeps for a short amount of time. We have a doctors appointment on Thursday so I'll ask about the rock and play </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988528 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:55:21 +0000 runsyellowlites 988528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @MsLipgloss... it's actually not recommended to keep littles in their seats for long periods of time (even as the get older) b/c they don't get good airflow in that position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988522 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:51:11 +0000 Smurfette 988522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @septemberlove: try a Rock n Play. I wouldn't want my baby sleeping that long every day in her car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988508 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:32:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 988508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you swaddle her when she's in the bassinet?</p> <p>ETA: I wouldn't let her sleep in the car seat. She still doesn't have good neck strength, so her airway could be compromised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988501 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:24:53 +0000 lomom 988501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a rock n play? Maybe she likes the incline and the tightness of the carseat?</p> <p>I'm not sure about the safety aspect of the carseat but if you're uncomfortable with it, maybe a rock n play would be a good solution? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleeping-in-carseat#post-988489 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:06:28 +0000 brady80 988489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is four weeks. She sleeps well in our arms, the bjorn or her car seat. She lasts about a half hour in the bassinet. The other night I put her in her carseat and she slept for 4.5 hours. I know babies are supposed to sleep flat on their backs, so is it horrible to have her sleep in her car seat at night? </p>
