Prevent toddler head slumping forward? Thinking if I turn upside down and atrach to shoulder straps, it could support chin so doesn't touch chest?

If it is secure enough, they may prevent the head from slumping forward. However they are mainly designed to keep the neck from leaving from side to side. That may work, but I'd be a little worried about possibly blocking the mouth if they moved forward. They are pretty big for a little infants neck.

Yes, that was my main reason for buying it and it worked great - it's big/snug enough that it actually held his head in place. Between doing this and putting a towel under the car seat platform (we have a minivan with bucket seats that tilted it way too far) it was MUCH better for him....

I used mine for my 4-6mo old and let him face out. It worked well for a while but he was a big boy so he was sweaty and didn't like being confined to my chest (but that was with all wraps-k'tan, ergo, etc) after a certain amount of time. It's nice for temporary hands free moments but my back was sore after longer periods of time (but he was 15lbs at 3mo)

My son started using this at 4 and a half months. He was semi-sitting up on his own and would lean to one side sometimes. We bought the Benbat head and neck support pillow for him and it kept him centered (and comfortable) on the stroller. The Benbat pillow is cute and inexpensive so we bought 3 more for our other stroller and for the grandparents' house.

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.

Hi, When my baby is asleep I recline the seat. That is usually enough. I also sometimes tuck a small stuffed animal next to his head and under his chin a bit to prop him up. There are three recline positions. One is sitting up straight, two is leaning back, three is leaning way back at about a 60 degree angle. It says in the instructions not to use the three position while facing forward, However I do use it when he is sleeping and he is quite comfortable that way.

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

Yes u can my child meets the requirements for the seat to be faced forward in height but not weight so I had her faced backwards but I'm turning her forward soon hopefully if not she fine backwards Thanks hope that answers Ur question And I love the seat cause when she falls asleep u don't have to worry bout adjusting her head because of the head supports..

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:)

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.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

That can probably be fixed by tightening the straps on the child. You should not be able to pinch the slack in the straps near the shoulder. Also, make sure the chest clip is at or about the arm pit level.

There is an adjustable belt under the body plate which we kept moving until our head stayed on the table as it was inverted. Also have you tried moving the height pin located on the side of the body plate? I know what you mean because my son is tall and his head hangs over the top when he is inverted. He tried to adjust it but had no luck. When he readjusted to almost 6 ft he could invert at all. Sorry, that's all I have. Good Luck!

I use this set of straps with no mask, just the nose piece and pillows for nostrils. The chin strap exerts a small amount of pressure but would probably not offer a lot of support. If a primary issue was your mouth coming open, I'm not certain it would solve it. It might be worth a try though.

Anything is possible, but I think it would depend on the size/strength of your toddler. The base sits on the floor and is much wider than the top. Even if baby tried to run the length of the cot in an attempt to flip it, 1) I think the padded mattress would slow him/her down and 2) because the top is smaller, I don't think baby could get up to a speed that could cause the cot to tip. However, if the cot was close enough to a solid object (ex: nightstand) and baby was tall/strong enough, either the cot or object could move. There is a height max on this cot. I sold our pack-n-play and bought this new for our third kid and haven't regretted it. We have been traveling all summer and it is infinitely better than standard pack-n-plays.

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

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! :)

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.
