The infant should be restrained in a car seat in the back seat of the automobile whenever the vehicle is in motion. The infant should be placed on his back for sleep, with propping slightly on one side or the other for variation. No infant should be placed on the stomach to sleep. An infant should never be left alone in a house or car.
