I think you had a nuchal scan, done at around 12 weeks. This measures the fluid at the back of the neck and MAY, only MAY be an indication of Down's syndrome. You will probably be offered an amniocentesis which will give a diagnosis. A friend of mine had twins, both of whom had positive signs. She had a double amnio, both of which were negative and her babies are fine, (now about 1 year old)

How can you put an infant Car seat in a 1999 ford ranger back seat?

for safety reasons, I just would not do that. Infant car seats are designed to face backwards so if involved in an accident, the baby's neck would be supported. The seats in the back of rangers face sideways and if involved in an accident the babys neck would have no support. I don't know if it is even legal to do it. Please reconsider this for the babys sake.
