[quote=Anonymous]Technically, you are not supposed to do the 3 hour drive in one sitting. You are supposed to stop and get out and reposition. The issue with infants in the car seat is positional asphyxiation. They can get their head into a position that can block their airway. Does it happen a lot. No. Does it happen. Yes. That is also why you are supposed to do a really good job positioning the carseat and the base to make sure to mitigate the risk.

People who work in child safety at the hospital near me really do recommend (despite it being a total pain) that you take kids out of the carseat for a target run or a quick trip to ... They are not supposed to be used for long walks. People do it. They do it all the time. Kids survive very often. But, like co-sleeping, side cars, dock a tots, swings, and sleeping on their stomach. It is not advised.

I did not have a bassinet for my older two and got one for my third and I was sad I did not have it earlier. We went on so many walks and did so much outside time and it was great to have DD3 in the bassinet and not tied down in a the car seat. And it was safe for sleeping.  [/quote]
