About

This document is a guide for EMS services in the U.S. about products used to transport children in ground ambulances. It describes different situations, like when a child is sick or injured, and lists various devices with details such as weight limits and cleaning instructions. The guide does not endorse any product or guarantee safety, as there are no federal standards for these devices. Manufacturers decide how to test their products, so buyers should check with them about crash tests. The document aims to help compare options but doesn't recommend specific items for use in ambulances.
