[quote=Anonymous]To the OP- I have delivered at 3 different area hospitals: GW, Georgetown and Virginia Hospital Center. At each of these hospitals we were told we had to carry our infant out in a car seat. BUT we didn't have and infant carrier type carseat. We have a convertable carseat that starts rearfacing at 5lbs. Once we explained this to the discharge nurse that all responded that is fine we just need to see you strap the baby into an age appropriate carseat if you are leaving by car. So at each hospital the baby rode in my lap in a wheelchair and the nurse watched us strap the baby in. I did happen to ask the nurse at VA hospital what they do if someone isn't leaving by car and she said they (the hospital) have to make sure the baby leave the hospital grounds by foot, ie in a stroller.
