You need a car seat to leave the hospital

No one ever asked to see a car seat when I left the hospital.

They inspected mine at MGH. That said I'd imagine if I refused they wouldn't have done anything. What are they going to do, keep the baby?

They reviewed my infant bucket seat the baby was in at MGH and looked up how to tighten it because they didn't know the seat.

At Cambridge, they followed us to the car (borrowed from in laws) to watch us put the baby in a convertible seat.

I do know people who have been strongly warned against leaving by the T, which is a good call when you've just given birth.
