Does the head support insert for small infant actually supports the head or it doesn't work very well in doing so?

If you are talking about the green support pictured, I would say it does an OK job at supporting. Infants are so small, I would recommend purchasing a support insert for all around support as well.

If this answers your question, the baby sits upright in the seat and there is no support specifically for the head of the child. The back of the seat is slightly higher than the front, but it will not be tall enough to support the head. I too would recommend that the child be able to hold their head up on their own before safely using this product.

This is adequate. It had a little head pillow to keep the baby's head from falling to the sides. My baby is 8 weeks old now and I have nothing bad to say about this stroller. From the day we left the hospital to now, it's very handy. I'm more then satisfied with this purchase.

Yes, one of the main functions/purposes for this item is to prevent flat spots on the back of the head in infants. It also comes with a neck support piece, but we never used that (my son was born with a fairly strong neck and did not need it). We used the other Boppy version with our first child after the pediatrician noted she was getting a flat spot. Used this version with our second child from the start and he never developed a flat spot.

This stroller does not support the use of an infant car seat but the seats do recline almost completely flat. I used this stroller with my youngest when she was three months and I bought one of those snuzzler head supports that you can get anywhere even here on amazon and reclined the seat all the way back and she was completely comfortable and her head was supported.

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

Yes, it leans back pretty far. You may need to add something around the babies neck/head to keep secure.

Yes, Lexi, you sure can- as long as your infant is 5lbs and up and use the provided insert. It fits rear facing, and with an infant you won't need the head rest yet.

Hard plastic to give baby support. I have read about the flat spot on the back of babies heads, but if the baby isn't in it all the time you won't have an issue. My 5 month old has been in it for about 4 months and has no issues with his head. He is only in it at night time though, because I also have read about that issue. Also you will want to keep up on washing it, I am sure you have read about the old version of this having a recall for mold growth. We wash ours once a week with the kids clothes and no issues.

My daughter has been using it since she was born and she'll be 4 months old this week. She's also a teeny peanut in size and stature so it works well for her. she can now move her head very well but i think she likes the comfort of this.

Probably not for an infant. There is no head support, so it's better for toddlers and up. Though I imagine you could find a way to strap an infant car seat into it if you really wanted to -- it's very sturdy.

No head support really. Should be used with a Child who can support their own head.

No!!! I didn't start putting my son in it until he was about 4 and a half months old and could hold his head up well on his own!

Yes it does and it is very convenient for smaller babies with little head control because it snaps securely to the should straps supporting the baby's head.

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

On the stroller instruction, it does not suggest you to insert any head support that's not original, for safety issue . At least on ours.

It's like just extra cushion. Not quite head support for an infant so I guess it's just a pillow
