Does it work putting it the other way around? I need something to put below her chin, so her face doesn't flop forward (carseat). She's 12 months old.

We have put on our son backwards for the same reason. If you do it just right it works great.

I bought this for the same reason for my 18 month old. It would work, if he didn't wake up and remove it every time I try to use it on him.

My daughter is 3yrs so not sure if the size of her neck will have anything to do with it but yes, putting it the other way works for us. We bought it for the same reason - to put it on her when she's sleeping in the car. Our biggest problem is remembering to put it on her before she falls asleep!

The neck rest seems to move forward with the head. Seems like a good thing though...I wouldn't want to cut off their air. Helps minimally.

Sorry, my kiddos are bigger. I think it would be too big for that, a rolled up receiving blanket might be better. Mine Always slumped to the side at that age...

There is a built in attachment underneath the carseat that you can adjust for when your child is rear facing. It just flips up.But it is not like an infant carrier where you detach the base and can carry around the upper portion. This seat would be for non-infants.

Not really... My 2 year old sat hunched over on the bench since the front chair back has to be fully reclined. I ended up purchasing the Caboose Too rear seat so she could have a more comfortable ride back there. It doesn't help that the bench does not lock in place, so her hunched position would get worse as the bench would slide out of place.

If you mean car you put a car seat in it I would say no the bottom of the stroller is fabric and wouldn't keep the car seat stable and it would lean and tip most likely making the toddler uncomfortable. I didnt use mine until both of my boys could sit side by side with just the harness' the smaller one was about 9-10 months old

It did for me but the angle of the mirror didn't stay put. I was pretty frustrated trying to tie it so that the angle stays the same and I can view my baby but going over bumps on the road ruined it every time. My baby was small in his infant seat and his carseat was on the far rear right seat so I had to position the mirror at a specific angle to see him. It got easier once he grew bigger and taller but I still needed it to point at an angle. I used one of the baby's receiving blanket to use as a stuffing behind the mirror against the headrest to keep it from moving. It stays put now and I have a spare emergency blanket for baby in the car for just in case. It did for me but the angle of the mirror didn't stay put.

A couple of things that I thought of: Is the seat in recline position 3? Have you removed the infant body pillow? (It's not needed if your child can sit without support.) If it helps, it looks like you can adjust the angle of the car seat in position 3, the manual talks about this on page 20. Good luck!

Yes, this will help that situation also make sure you have the shoulder pads on snug to keep his back from slouching, I believe there's different adjustments on the baby snuggler, last fall my daughter had put their 2 month old baby in the burly also a double with the baby snuggler and it was perfect, hope this helps you to make your decision.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

I think it depends on how big they are and how much head control they have. I used it for my first daughter before she could sit up....I loved it. It is something that I plan to use again on my second who is a week old. I will probably try him in it when he is a month or so old to see how he does....it is worth the investment...it also protects the fabric seat well into when they are older.

This manual says atleast 20 pounds and over one years old. I have seen people put kids younger than 1 in front facing carseats, but facing backwards is safest for them. My husband and I went by our baby....she loved her carseat and when she got near 1 years old she began to fight us and throw.fits when trying to put her in her carseat. We figured out that she was outgrowing it and not.comfortable anymore. We got this Recaro.and she loves it!!

I don't think it would be appropriate because the seat isn't rear facing capable. (Or at least mine isn't, but I have had it over a year so that may have changed). That would be my only concern for you. Otherwise the seat is wonderful, just make sure your child is able to be front facing if the seat only goes that way.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

When my son was just starting to learn to sit up, he slumped to the side too. He did better when I set the seat up straighter and attached the tray. I also grabbed our insert from our mama roo and it fit perfectly! Plus looked cute. But I'm sure the Britax insert would work too.

Were you using the top tether or just a lap/shoulder belt? If the vest was top-tethered I can't picture a kid leaning far down enough to be putting his/her chin to her knees. Some folks who might be better able to help you with this question are the certified child-passenger safety techs at the internet forum http://www.car-seat.org - they're very helpful and knowledgeable. Hope that helps!

I found it to be too thick to use in carseat. It made their head fall forward if they fell asleep. It needs to have a space in back for neck to go.

My little one was 3 months when I first started putting him in here to get out and get exercise for me... I put a pillow under the seat to bring him up and rolled a couple of blankets to give his head and neck support... Also, I put some of the strap sleeve covers that you can get for car seats on the shoulder straps of the trailer as well to keep them from cutting into his little tender neck... Now he is 7 months and I still put the pillow under him and have the strap covers, but he does not sleep much on the go and has great neck strength so I do not worry about the blankets so much... :)

The tray curves out, so I would still be concerned with my little guy slipping out underneath it. I guess it would depend on how big your child is, but since it goes across the entire front it could help.
