Anxious about driving with my newborn and ensuring he is situated properly in his car seat..

[CQ1986]

Hi all.
Since becoming a parent I have been extremely anxious about taking my baby out in the car. My baby is nearly 3 weeks old. I have added large baby on board stickers to both mine and my fiancé's car.

I am worried that I am not sitting my baby correctly and he may lean to much against the straps of the car seat and choke..im also worried about him throwing up and choking. To the point I will only allow him in the car if someone is watching him in the back seat.

Has anyone else suffered with this anxiety. Do you have a tips for me to ensure my son is kept safe in the seat whilst I am driving.

I have a large mirror already so I can see him whilst driving. Not sure if there is anything else I can do.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry got a baby laying on me so struggling to read all the replies but have you got one of those mirror things you hang up on the head rest of the back seat so you can see the baby when you look in your rear view mirror? You’d be able to see if your baby was being sick then or at a weird angle.

My oldest is 8 and second is 6 months. I still get massive anxiety with 8 year old and check she’s still breathing at night after she’s asleep!
