Ya, its a kid, there isn't a right way to do CPR, changes every six months.
Mostly respiratory distress in kids, I'd always start with a rescue breath, even though current teachings would suggest to avoid breaths to begin.
Otherwise you're hoping to have a defibrillator lying around.

Last time I did defib training (november time) the chappy said not to do rescue breaths for adults if you dont want to, but "You gotta be a heartless ******* to not try with a kid", then explained it being more likely to be respiratory distress etc.

Indeed, guidelines change, but the trainers who actually train all still state the previous thinking. Its good sense, and indeed scientifically accurate.

Indeed. But they should be trained. I have been personally taught to use two fingers but the baby should have been taken out of the car and laid on the ground because you need a firm surface.

From where I'm sitting there is no excuse to not do the full CPR if you're carrying a mouth guard.
