FAQs
FAQs
Q. What makes the Merritt Hope Car Bed suitable for
infants with special needs?
A.
The Hope Car Bed provides secure positioning for infants weighing
4.5-35 lbs and up to 29 inches tall, supporting supine,
prone, or side-lying travel when medically necessary, with multiple
restraint options for safety and comfort.
Q. What is the difference between the standard
and hip cast models?
A.
The Hip Cast model has cutout panels at the foot area to allow wider
leg positioning, making it suitable for infants wearing hip casts, while
the Standard model works for infants without casts needing standard
positioning support.
Q. How does the Hope Car Bed adjust for
different medical conditions?
A.
It offers five restraint configurations using either a 3-point harness or a restraint bag with adjustable cummerbunds. The Hip Cast model includes side panels near the feet to accommodate wider leg positions.
Q. Can the car bed accommodate infants taller
than 29 inches?
A.
Yes, if the infant’s knees can bend comfortably, the bed can support
taller infants, though length restrictions should always be checked against
comfort and safety standards.
Q. What is the proper placement of the car bed
in a vehicle?
A.
The bed installs in the rear passenger seat, with the infant’s head
facing the center of the vehicle. Rebound straps or a leveling wedge
keep the bed stable and level during travel.
Q. How does the Hope Car Bed handle infants who
cannot tolerate reclining?
A.
It supports supine, prone, or right-side positions based on medical guidance. The design allows safe travel for infants who cannot use standard semi-reclined car seats or harness straps.
Q. How do the restraint bags and cummerbunds
work?
A.
The restraint bags attach securely to the bed with zippers or dual entry
points, while the cummerbund wraps provide snug support around the torso and
abdomen, keeping the infant safely positioned without restricting breathing
or movement.
Q. How does the Hope Car Bed stay stable on a
vehicle seat?
A.
It uses rebound straps and/or a leveling wedge to maintain a level, secure
position on the car seat. These features prevent tipping or shifting during
travel, ensuring consistent support.
Q. Are there accessories to improve comfort or
safety?
A.
Yes, optional accessories include small and large restraint bags,
side-facing restraint bags, and a leveling wedge for vehicles with a slope.
Included EPS foam sides and head cushions enhance comfort and protection.
