Does it give good head support, from the pics I feel like it's just a cushion,does it stop from the baby head to wobble while asleep during drives

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

not really Depending on the age of the baby, it is an ok head cushion and I have a 16 month old but when she is asleep her head will go side to side

It has good support, her head does fall forward when she is really out. But you can adjust the rests to help with that.

If you mean to use it for your head, I wouldn't recommend it, it is very firm (hard). I use it for a butt cushion in an office chair. I'm overweight and it supports me.

I sleep on my side most of the time. One of the things I like about this pillow is that all of the little kernals of \pearlite or whatever it is inside generally hold on to one another. If I scrunch up the pillow so that it supports my head in a higher position, it does that well. It is not foamy or bouncy, so it allows me to lie still and thus helps itself hold the height I wanted it at. Later, if I want it higher or lower, I can almost always get it exactly where I want it. I have even used it to support my head while sitting on the airplane for long periods of time. It can also be smushed down if you want to lie on your back with your head only surrounded and in one place. Great pillow.

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.

The head does wobble; in spite of that my son sleeps on the chair soundly. Maybe of those neck pillows will help? Buy yes, the chair is much more upright than the britax boulevard, for example.

Absolutely! I took it on a road trip because I'm at that age where I tend to fall asleep if I sit still. I strap it on tightly and it holds my head in place. Because it is tall, It prevents my head from falling forward or back and tipping right or left.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

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!

It offers an appropriate level of head and neck support. Granted there are better ones in the market. I bought 2 because I have twins. The head support can be adjusted vastly to meet the needs of the child. The best thing about the head support is that it is extremely padded, soft and cushioned. One of the best. I am very happy with my purchase and have been using it for 8 months.

Head support is adjustable height and great. Not sure you're going to find any car seat that will completely prevent the head bob when they fall asleep

If you find the car seat support not enough for the baby, then go for this product. Also, it's important to keep the newborns head correctly positioned (straight), and to have cushy padding under it to eliminate the possibility of flat head. I don't think this extra comforting insert could cause any safety issues, just fill out your car seat, and if you find it too hard, or notice your little one isn't snug in it, by the insert.

Ralph, One of the leading features of this pillow is the support it gives when the head falls to one side. Whether it would be adequate for your neck I do not know but its lateral support is one of the things I like the best about it.

It is slightly flattened at the back of your head and had small "wings" on the side to support your neck and head. It's very comfortable and your head stays in place and doesn't roll side to side or fall forward.

The recline helps a bit, but it's still pretty upright. My son's head will usually flop to right or left, but sometimes he goes forward. The straps hold him in until I go around a corner and his head falls back to the side :-) About typical for a harnessed booster. In his regular booster he would end up doubled over. So I'll take what I can get.

I use it primarily in the car (while my child is in his carseat) as that is when he tends to need it due to sleeping and sitting, like on a long car trip. It does tilt his head forward, but we move it around to fit properly. My husband tried putting it on our son backwards so it propped his chin up while he was sleeping. Worked pretty well for us! :)

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!

Hmm.. I'm not sure. I liked it because it just felt like it would cradle him more. I like how it supports his head. This way we can put him down with his head on either side and he still has a little pillow cushion. Now that my son is getting older, he tries to crawl off the changing pad a lot and we have to distract him with toys. The curvature keeps the toys on the pad with him and also slows him down a tiny bit. I don't think there are any drawbacks I can think of, maybe a few very small benefits in my book.
