Abstract
The use of infant safety seats in automobiles has become a standard recommendation of physicians, insurance companies, and various organizations. The efficacy of these devices in the prevention of serious motor vehicle trauma is well recognized.1-7 We report an adverse incident involving such a restraining device. CASE REPORT J.R. is a 12-week-old white female infant who was secured in such a restrainer seat in the recommended manner. The day of admission was an unusually sunny spring afternoon and the child was wearing only a T-shirt and a diaper. Persistent crying by the child for 15 minutes led to the discovery of a blister 3 cm in diameter on the exposed portion of the patient's anterior right thigh (Figure).
