Easy to tip over. Infant seats used as substitutes for a car seat.
Infant seats are designed only for propping a baby up, so they can see or be fed more easily.
Even though baby is securely strapped into the seat, the weight of his head could pull him down and out as has happened in several reported injuries and deaths. Parents place the seat astraddle a grocery cart or in the grocery cart seat. The most serious injuries associated with infant seats occur when a baby falls from an elevated surface. Therefore, if you follow the warning labels, the seat should never be above floor level. If not discovered quickly, an infant can smother with its face in the carpet.
