Does head tilt forward sleeping in Britax Boulevard? Do the deep side wings prevent the child's head from tilting forward while sleeping?

I actually DID go to a fire department and had mine installed and my 5 month old's head still tilted fwd in a rear facing carseat...

If your child is rear-facing, how can her head tilt forward?? I don't see how that is possible if the seat is correctly installed. For the love people, read the instructions or go down the your local fire department to get it installed properly! Your child's life depends on it!

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Mine are not forward facing, as of yet, but the head rest is close enough that my children's heads do not really move. Plus the head rest moves up and down, so depending on how big your child is, you can make it fit comfortably.

This car seat is awesome however it does not recline well. Due to it being forward facing it does not recline far enough back to prevent sleeping babies head from falling forward. You would need a pillow.

Yes, when in harness mode, not in booster mode. Recline handle is in the front at bottom of seat so you can reach it without having to uninstall. My kid falls asleep in it without recline, the side wings are good for that.

Our daughter is 6 years old and she loves this seat. Sometimes when she is sleeping her head will fall forward, but she is able to prop her head on the side wings. She is very comfortable in this seat. It was a great choice for our daughter.

No. The screens tilt to get a better viewing angle, but the headrest does not change positions for the front passenger.

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

It doesn't have a lot of recline..but my son who is 3.5 and weighs 32lb. and is 40" tall sleeps without his head falling forward just fine. He rests comfortably on the side!

I bought it when my son was 11 months old..roughly 23 lbs..I've also had him forward facing since his first birthday. When he falls asleep his head does lay against the car seat. It's very rare that it falls forward like he did in the infant seat. I like it so much we bought a second for my husbands truck and ended up buying a third for my parents. I think it'd be ok gender wise. We were able to install all 3 seats using latch with no problem.

The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position). It folds to about a 45 degree angle to allow the infant car seat to snap into place if the car seat is in the front position. So far we have only had the infant car seat in the back and our toddler sitting in the front part, but have set it up both ways. As for the whole stroller, it does not fold flat due to the wheels like the other reviewer stated. We just traveled across the world with our stroller, through four airports and three flights. We are very happy with the sturdiness of it and even after three gate checks it looks brand new. The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position).

I bought this stroller a month ago and loved mostly everything about it, but came back on to see if anyone is also seeing that their toddler needs to lean forward or slouch a little when there is a carseat installed in front. My toddler needs to bend her head forward a little when the carseat is installed.

I have to say, I often find their heads tilted to the side. I usually roll a blanket and put it on the side of their heads that they tend to sleep on (have twins). For my 3 year old it seems to work better.

My baby is 20lbs but, you don't need to tilt the bottom while the seat is rear facing. Just don't use the angle adjuster until your baby has really good head control. My baby is 11mths and her head slumps forward a little when she sleep. That doesn't happen without the angle adjuster.

No. I had to purchase another seat. The reason is both safety & comfort. This particular model of Saftey 1st booster has little to no side protection. When your child falls to sleep his/her head will drop off to the side or forward dramatically. There is nothing supporting the head. Worse still - in case of an accident your little one will experience serious whiplash for the same reason. I ended up buying a Britax Roundabout. Look for a booster with more side protection is my advise.

Boosters sit the child more upright than their previous car seats which are tilted backward. This would be like you falling asleep in your seat with the exception of the awesome sides on the headrest which comfortably support my son's head when he falls asleep in the car. Just like in your own seat, you can tilt his seat back and the booster will tilt with it. Otherwise the head could fall forward but my son always manages to seek one of the sides to rest his head as you or I would if we were dozing in the seat. Hope that helps!

It does but either the baby seat is way far back or rather upright. I don't think the upright is too far forward but I wouldn't lay the carseat so far back b/c the baby would have his/her head lower that his/her legs.

Have to warn you that using a car seat rear-facing is difficult on long flights when the person in front of you wants to recline their seat. When we've flown, we've had to have the seat rear-facing and had trouble with both the aircraft crew and the person in front of us. Many of the aircraft crew were not used to seeing a rear-facing seat since most people don't buy their infants a ticket when they're under 2 (it was a long flight, so we bought our son his own seat). Then, the person in front of us couldn't recline his seat because the car seat got in the way and the got upset. These problems are not unique to the Britax but are problems with using any rear-facing car seat on flights.
