Parents should not leave young infants sleeping in car seats for long periods of time, said a Quebec coroner who looked into the death of a two-month-old boy who suffocated when his mom placed him a car seat after a restless night.
The recommendation comes two years after Montreal researchers warned very young babies are vulnerable to sudden infant death syndrome if they spend too much time in a seated position.
'The head of the baby is heavier than the body. The neck muscle is not straight enough to let the neck rise. So, it falls.'
