Does anyone know about the infant Car Bed?

Actually, I hadn't ever heard anything about them. But my little preemie hated our regular infant car seat. He cried and cried. I knew it was because he was uncomfortable- squished up. So I began investigating and found that several manufacturers make in infant car bed. They're federally inspected. Graco makes one. I called the police to make sure it was legal and up to standards ( it is.) I bought one - and boy, has it made a difference! I knew our baby was tested at the NIC unit to see his reaction from the car seat, but I didn't realize that had he been in any distress, they would have made us get this car bed - so that he could lay rather than sit. Have you all heard of this? Did you like yours? I wonder why they don't advertise this for everyone, rather than make it merely for preemies? Thanks

My son was able to use a regular car seat, and didn't need the car bed, but when we didn't know how big he was going to be when he got released from the NICU we were looking into them. He was almost 5 lbs (4.14) when he was released. He passed his car seat test as well, but wasn't ever really happy in the car until he was at least 4 or 5 months old. I wonder now if the car bed would have helped. Hindsight being 20/20, we probably should have gone that route. I'm glad it worked out for you!
