My son is about 4 months. The back of head is flat. Would this product help him at this age?

That's when I bought it for my son. His head is rounder now (at nearly 6 months) but it is hard to say whether it was due to the product or the fact that he spends more of his day up off of his head than before using bouncers and chairs since he's gained more strength in his neck. We used it in his rock and play and car seat.

You can rectify flat head up to 6 month old. It did help my daughter a little but it doesn't do miracles. Make sure to give him a lot of tummy time.

I was hoping the same thing, however although it doesn't say so in the website description, the packaging clearly states it's only good up to 4 months. We found out the hard way, my son was nearly 4 months when we bought it so we couldn't use it. It was definitely too small for him.

Definitely!!! My daughter had a pretty bad flat spot at 4 months we got the boppy noggin and the flat spot is pretty much gone! She's 5 1/2 months old now

I started using it when my son was able to hold his head up on his own. He's now 4 1/2 months old and still loves it.

I think the recline was steep enough that our son didn't need it, even when he was a brand newborn baby. Now that he's 6 months, he definitely doesn't need any extra support. He always liked to turn his head to the side, but since the rocker doesn't hold them upright, it didn't make his head sag.

Hello... I bought this pillow for my son when he was 4 months old to round out his head a bit and to avoid one of those terrible helmets. It worked!!! He sleeps with is every night and is now a bit over 1 year old. I too was a bit nervous but he LOVED it. A great pillow for the $. If you are nervous and I was too....use it the first couple of times at nap time and check up periodically. then if all goes well and it will use it at night time. Hope this helps you :-) If just for looks and cute, You should wait for 6 months. My baby had a flat head so it was really necessary... either way your baby will love it!! Hello...

Got this for my son when he was around the same age. While it did fit him, he would not allow it to stay on his head and would pull it off. To this day- he is almost 17 months now, he will not allow me to use it! It's a great idea of a product, but so far it hasn't been very useful. Perhaps I will try again when he is old enough to understand that it will keep water out of his eyes.

Probably not. I have actually found that it is a little too tall for me and I am 5'6". It is also VERY firm. I don't think it would be a good angle for a kid's head.

My niece has been using it since about 3 weeks in with no problems. She's still able to move her head a bit to the side, but not to the point where it'd be uncomfortable and undesireable where her head is flat on the side.

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.

I'm not a doctor so I can't really say but that's where we use it the most cause my son sleeps ten or more hours.. I started using it at six months old cause that's when my dr told us his head was getting flat he's nine months old now and he still uses it so far so good no flat head :)

This seat does not support the head (if the child is leaning back, the back part goes up to about their neck I would say), but I bought this hoping it would help my son with his head control and I do think it did. When I first bought this, he would slump over (I love that this seat encircles the child so they can't fall out), but I would have him sit in it - I was with him the entire time - until he got frustrated, then I would take him out. He could sit in it longer and longer each time and now he has better balance and head control and he loves his seat. He can sit in it for quite a long time now! Love this FP seat!

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.

We used this with our 2 month old, at the most reclined position, so he was mostly laying down. However, my son was holding his head up on his own at roughly 7/8 weeks and this may have had something to do with his head staying in line with his body.

We used this until baby was about 5 months but only for short periods. Too much time in this can cause neck problems or flat heads in infants.

I bought this for my grandson last summer and he was only four months. His head did not get wet. It is well made and the head rest is not flimsy. You can even use a towel to help with positioning.

No, did not cause a flat head on my grandson. He wasn't in it 24/7 though. Maybe a half hour at a time.

It depends on how your child sleeps. The sides come out quite a bit and so my son's head is usually resting on one of the sides when he sleeps. We had a different booster before this one and I will say that he seems to sleep better in this one than his old one. I would suggest that you remove your head rest if you buy this seat because it lets the seat lean back a bit more and that seemed to help also with the head flopping forward when he fell asleep. This is an awesome booster. I think you will be very happy with it.

I used it for my daughter since she was 1week old. The pillow has many holes for heat release and i felt this is crucial especially in case the baby faces down when she learnt to turn her head-at least can breathe better. My daughter is 9mth old and her head is round so I guess it works with preventing flat head syndrome. She's still using it now!
