Make sure that prior to checking in to your hospital that you securely fasten your infant car seat. Call your local police department - they can ensure that it is installed correctly. In Los Angeles there is a department at the CHP that specializes in infant car seat installation. Also, here's a website that gives some great tips on how to install.
One other thing, be sure you know how to safely place and buckle an infant in the car seat. Practice with a stuffed animal or something to make sure you know how to do it properly. The hospital will NOT help you buckle your newborn into the car seat due to liability issues. Kind of unfortunate, but understandable in this litigious day and age.
