Is it safe for a 2 month baby to sleep in a car seat overnight when she is at home?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Safe: But not advisable. Your baby needs to learn to sleep alone in their own bed or crib. Additionally, the car seat sleeping will put the baby at an increased risk for plagiocephaly (flattening of the skull).

Car seat: I see no reason it would be dangerous. Its a good position. Never let the baby sleep face down on a bed, etc.
