Learn how to correctly fit the BeSafe Go Beyond 2 Newborn Preemie Inlay for premature and small newborns. Step-by-step guide with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Fit the BeSafe Go Beyond 2 Newborn Preemie Inlay by positioning the insert in the car seat, adjusting the removable wedge for your baby’s size, and ensuring the harness lies flat over the inlay without twisting.

Why the Inlay Exists

The BeSafe Go Beyond 2 Newborn Preemie Inlay is designed for babies 40–60 cm tall, which covers most premature and very small newborns. It creates a snug environment with extra head and body support, helping maintain a neutral neck position so the airway stays open. Without the inlay, a small baby may slump or have poor harness fit.

Removable Wedge – When to Use It

The inlay includes a removable wedge under the seat area. For the smallest babies, keep the wedge in place to reduce the distance from the harness slots to the baby’s shoulders. As your baby grows, remove the wedge so the harness sits correctly without the inlay pushing it forward. A common mistake is leaving the wedge in too long, which can cause the harness to ride up.

When to Stop Using the Inlay

The inlay is intended for babies up to 60 cm or until the harness fits properly without it. Once your baby outgrows the inlay, remove it entirely. Continuing to use it beyond that point can compromise harness fit and safety. Refer to your car seat manual for the exact height or weight limits.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Car Seat: Remove any existing padding or inserts from the car seat. Place the BeSafe Go Beyond 2 Newborn Preemie Inlay into the seat shell, ensuring the back of the inlay sits flush against the seat back. Do not stack the inlay on top of another insert unless the car seat manual allows it.
2. Position the Baby in the Inlay: Place your baby into the inlay so their bottom sits all the way back. The inlay’s head support should cradle the head without pushing the chin to the chest. The removable wedge should be under the baby’s bottom if used. If the baby’s head is forced forward, the inlay is too small or the wedge should be removed.
3. Thread the Harness Over the Inlay: Bring the harness straps over the inlay’s shoulder guides and between the baby’s legs. The harness must lie flat over the inlay, not under it. Buckle and tighten until the harness is snug – you should not be able to pinch any slack at the shoulder. A common mistake is routing the harness under the inlay, which prevents proper tightening and can cause slack in a crash.
4. Adjust the Removable Wedge (as Needed): For babies under 45 cm or with very short torsos, keep the wedge in place. Once the baby’s shoulders reach the lowest harness slots without the wedge, remove it by pulling it out from under the inlay’s seat area. Check the harness slot height every few weeks – if the straps are above the shoulders, remove the wedge.
5. Perform the Pinch Test: After tightening, try to pinch the harness webbing at the shoulder. If you can pinch any fabric, the harness is too loose. Re-tighten until the webbing is flat and firm against the baby’s chest. A loose harness is the most common error with inserts – always double-check after a few minutes of driving.
