Contact your doctor or rehabilitation therapist to help you determine what is causing the pressure or pain. Your child may need a different car safety seat that fits better, need to be repositioned in her car safety seat, or need a seat that offers more padding. Only use padding that comes with your car safety seat. Do not add extra padding behind your child’s back and bottom. Your child’s car safety seat might not work as well in a crash.
