They recommend either stopping to check or having another adult check to make sure all is well.
If your DH is driving, you can easily sneak a peek to make sure he isn't facing downward too far or if he has blankets in his face that could obstruct breathing.
I wouldn't worry too much if you are stopping to feed and/or change along the way.
