💭 Imagine how hard it would be to drink through a straw that was bent in half. Now imagine that bent straw is your baby’s airway. They wouldn’t be able to breathe. Now, what does this have to do with safe sleep? 🤔

When properly installed in your car or stroller, your baby’s carrier sits at a very specific angle. It holds your baby in the correct position so they can breathe while sleeping. ✅ But on it’s OWN, the carrier tilts too far forward or back. These odd angles turn your baby’s airway into that pinched straw, making it difficult for them to breathe. ❌

The takeaway: Your baby’s carrier by itself is not a safe sleep space. 🙅‍♀️ When you reach your destination, move your sleeping baby to a flat, firm surface (like their crib) as quickly as possible. If you need them to keep sleeping, leave them in their car seat while you circle the block or transfer the carrier to their stroller while they catch some extra 😴
