Is it just a pillow, or head support for an infant?

I believe it was intended to be just a pillow but when my daughter was very little it helped support her head. Now that she is almost 6 months is just a pillow.

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

Yes it is on the heavy side and a little on the big side (you wont be able to put it on the front of a shopping cart but that's unsafe anyway, it will fit in the cart). As far as cushioning I think it has enough to protect baby and I always recommend those neck pillows to keep the babys head in place (my preference)...overall I love it, my son seems comfortable.

I use a folded sweater between my son's head and side support. Like a pillow.

Babies don't use pillows. Wait until over 1 year or, possibly 2 years old. Babies and toddlers heads are so large compared to the size of their shoulders and body that they don't require a pillow. My son is 3 and he rarely stays on the pillow for the entire night.

We used it like a bassinet. It's very sturdy and cradles the baby, offering cozy comfort. A much older baby who is fighting sleep may require the restraints , but otherwise, I don't think so. We loved ours and have given them as gifts to very grateful friends.

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.

Very little trouble. I would not suggest an infant using this. Pillows are very well made. Even the Velcro strap has a self closing velour cover you sleep on the under side which is smooth when opened to a full pillow

Not really as it doesn't recline flat. It reclines enough for the baby to sleep.

yes my babys head is very comfortable in this seat. note that the base also adjusts to offer more recline. this is my fourth infant seat and definately the best.

I have used it as a head pillow but it doesn't really support my head like I would like, it isn't too thick it just isn't that firm, as a body pillow and for the price it's perfect. Hope this helps.

Burley and Tule offer infant inserts to help with head and neck support. I am looking into bike trailers and asked my pediatrician about it at his 6 month appointment, he said just get the infant insert and make sure they are strapped in well and have a helmet on. He used one with his kids.

no head rest only for neck...use my pillow behind it..actually head rest sounds good

Yes, as long as you have a towel or something rolled up amd placed around the infants head to support their neck and head, just as you would for a car seat. This is a must have for any new parent.

The purpose of the pillow is to provide back support for smaller babies, or those whose back muscles aren't quite strong enough to sit up on their own. It is detachable.

It is not suitable for a 9 week old as there is no head support. Overall I have been very disappointed in this product as it was not worth what I paid. My grandson used it twice as by the time he was stable enough to sit in it, he was too big for the seat.

It's a tiny pillow. Not more than a foot in length and width. It's also very hard (not soft at all). I didn't like it at any point so far in my pregnancy (5 months along now). Ended up using it as a laptop prop. :P

It includes a rock hard "pad" that they call a mattress. I folded up a smooth quilt and laid it down over the mattress so baby would have some actual padding to sleep on. I know infants need a firm mattress but this one is practically a board. This bed is over-priced. Go with a traditional bassinet instead. The co-sleeper idea is fine, if you don't toss and turn, or drop your pillow over the side of your bed while sleeping. If you move, or accidently toss your pillow, the movement will move the baby's bed, or worse, your pillow could end up on top of your baby. Not a good idea.
