Corrected entry: After baby Tom is born and the family is leaving the hospital, they put him in a forward facing child seat. All children under 20 pounds should be in a rear facing child safety seat. Many hospitals will not let you leave unless a nurse has checked to make sure that you have the proper equipment and that it is safely installed.

Correction: Not following the rules\laws is not a mistake. And "many" hospitals is not all.
