My 3 months baby refuses to sleep in her bed, the only way she sleeps is in her carseat even at night.can this be harmful for her developement?

I see no problem: The kid may actually be self selecting a position that helps her deal with heartburn/reflux that can be common when babies lay down. After 5-6 mo this should be less of a problem & you may be able to get baby back into a bed. At this point just do what you need to get through the day / night
