This document outlines guidelines for safely transporting children in ambulances. It describes the importance of using proper restraints, like convertible car seats and stretcher harness devices, to minimize injury during a crash. Infants who need to lie flat should use a car bed or isolette. Mothers and newborns should be transported separately unless stable and secured with special equipment. Well children are best transported in another vehicle but can ride in the ambulance if necessary, following specific rules. After minor crashes, child safety seats can be reused if they meet certain conditions without visible damage.
