Caregivers used the measure consistently, but had different experiences and perceptions of their infant's health and functioning. Future studies are needed to explore mechanisms for the differences in test-retest and interrater reliability. Whenever possible, the same caregiver should provide ratings of the infant, including on the iCOO.
