This depends on the age of the child. If we are talking about a newborn or baby that travels in a ‘maxi-cosi’ type chair, it is not recommended that they sit for more than an hour and a half. It is advisable to stop after this time so that the baby can change their position and stretch.
This is aimed at avoiding the risk of bradycardia and of the child having breathing difficulties. In addition, this posture is also associated with apnea and oxygen desaturation. The child tends to sit in the shape of a ‘C’, a position which is not suitable for a baby. However, compared to a carrycot, an egg-shaped or maxi-cosi type seat is much safer in the event of a collision. It is therefore recommended to stop every hour and a half so that the child does not stay in the same position for too long.
