What's the purpose of the pillow? It looks like it obstructs baby's view. Is it detachable? If so, is it soft enough to bend around baby to prop up?

It is detachable. It's great when they can't sit on their own. It's also good for high chairs in restaurants that are huge...provides padding for propping. We love ours and wouldn't trade it for anything. We buy one for every new mom we're getting a gift for!

The pillow is detachable and can be used to put in front of the baby to help prop the baby up, or as a travel pillow.

I assume the pillow is for extra padding around the handlebars. I do not use the pillow. It is detachable, and has two strings on one side to tie it to the cart (but not both sides). When my baby was little I would bend it in half and use it to prop him up on one side of him.

I regret that I am not able to answer your question. I have given Buggy Baggs as gifts for newborns. The recipient mothers have liked the product but I've never discussed its use with them.

By the time the baby sits in a shopping cart they are big enough to see out. It prevents the little ones from banging their little faces if they tip forward. If they fall asleep they can rest their head on it

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.

That's exactly what it's for. The pillow isn't attached at all. I used it to prop in front of my 8 month old son so he wouldn't wobble as much, then in the checkout I played with him like it was a sword to keep him occupied while we waited. It has quite a bit of padding in it, so it won't really "bend" around the baby, but it will sit in front or behind him/her very functionally.

Yes pillow comes off don't quite know the purpose but it is soft and could be used to make baby more secure.. It really is a better quality cover, comfy and we use it at restaurants too. You won't be sorry to buy it.

It is detachable, and we have never used it. It attaches to the part of the cover that is where the shopping cart handle is....I believe with Velcro. I don't know if it would work well propping a younger baby up...I think that would be awkward. I started using it shortly after my son turned 1, though.

you can pull it up like a hood, it attaches to the straps for shade or privacy. my daughter is 3 months and 15 lbs and can hold her head up, we use it without he insert, but we use a rolled up blanket under her to prop her up to align her legs correctly.

not really helpful for flat head..my baby's head is still flat..and I don't suggest to use this pillow during warm or hot weather.

It needs something behind it to be effective. That being said, it works well then. I'm using it right now, and I have it turned upside down! It depends how I am sitting or laying down how I use it. The fact that it is not flat, like a pillow for instance, means that it can be put in lots of different positions.I like its small size and flexibility. I generally use my own thinking to make things be the way I want them to!

I tried using this pillow to prop him up so I can go wash the bottle and found that he has almost pushed himself off the back. He would push with his legs on the pillow. If it was indented in just a bit more - then I would say maybe (even though the pillow warning signs say not to). I only use it when he is not as active and more in a resting but not sleepy state. Over all it is not my go to pillow for him.

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.

Yes! I used it both wrapped behind and also cuddling it in front. I'm a little over 38 weeks now and I've abandoned the pillow. It takes too much effort to turn over which needs to happen very often.

It's a sling for the mommy to hold the baby. Depending on the mommy that you have, it may or may not work very well. But one baby will fit inside of it.

I wouldn't it was hard as a rock Besides I don't think the intention of the pillow is to prop up a baby. The pillow was a waste of money

Hi John. I would use when baby is at least 3 months and up. My baby didn't develop a flat spot, but since he preferred one side I was worried he would and got this pillow.

I usually lift it to see my child. I'm not sure how well they can see out of it. It is great when they are napping!

I guess it's better than not using anything at all, but this pillow got mis-shaped for me after first wash. Plus keep in mind, your baby's head can get sweaty easily with this fabric. I recommend the babymoon pillow.

That is how I use it and it was the main reason I bought it. It provides a nice smooth, firm surface for the baby to lay on. When they are young and not mobile, it is perfectly fine to use and should not present a safety issue.

It is not recommended since your baby can reach it. Also it is too close, it can not cover all the area of the crib.I mount it on the wall, on the direct top of the crib, and the distance is just enough to cover all the area of the crib. I am not able to see very clear images, but it is OK, at least I can see what he is doing now.

I do not believe a baby that young needs a pillow and I wouldn't use it for a baby that doesn't rollover yet. However, if you want to have one to try it out, get this pillow because is very slim and soft and you can use for a long time (my baby is almost 2 and still sleeps with it.

It has padding all over the bottom and sides too, just not the top. You could use the pillow for cushioned support. I love this cover and am using it with my second baby now. I think I started my first one at 6m too. You can strap him in for more stability.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.
