Re: What car seat is recommended after surgery?

<t>Thanks. Her surgery is scheduled for July 31 at the University of Iowa. Her doctor demonstrated that her arm would be up at a 90 degree angle (like signaling a turn on a bicycle). I assumed the carseat would have to have clearance for the entire width of the cast? I do know that I will have to ge...
