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 used it with my 8 month old however it does recline so once your child can support their head I think it would be fine. It does not come with an infant insert.

Unless you can get a head support, this is not suitable for a child under 3 months old. We just started using it for my nephew who is now 4 months old and it works very nicely. However, he has better control of holding his head and sitting up. It's a great lightweight stroller, though.

I don't think so . Usually babies slides neck since they born, however if you notice something difference in your baby, ask the Doctor what would be. The Noggin have a purpose just for those babies who has flat head.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

Yes, it is going to help, as long as you can attach it to something not so smooth, so that it does not slip off his head.

It helped mine. I had my little one in a rock n play when he was little, so that kinda kept him in place. The weight of the wubanub kept it either on his chest or by his head so a lot of times he just had to move his head to put it back in his mouth. I really like them a lot! It also makes it harder to misplace them. As my little one has gotten older, he likes to hold it.

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...

I would suggest your child be able to hold their head up on their own as the back support isn't built in such a way to hold up their head and neck. My nephew set in this when he was much younger and it was fine for him to look around at the items but they used a small pillow to add support.

I agree with the other replies. The seat reclines almost flat however there would be no head support. If you use it in the reclined position you would definitely need to have rolled blankets or pads to support the baby's head. If you're going to be using it frequently it would be best to purchase the car seat adapter.

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 :)

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.

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.

For an incline it could depending on his torso size. But depending on the exercise it could work. I would suggest looking else where. My head barely fits when its flat bench and im 5ft 9

No, but you need to check with your pediatrician. The standard is whether his neck can support his head with the helmet on. Mine could do that at 5 months.

We just bought this and used it for the first time this week. Our daughter though is 8 months and she was quite comfortable. The child is sitting in an upright position though so I would not use it until they could hold their head up on their own.

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.
