My daughter is almost 6 months will thi work for her? Bc her head is flat in the back and the neurologist suggested something I cant find

It should work, just remember it is for the stroller, swing or bouncer. It has not been crash tested for car seats.

We bought this for our son at six months after seeing the neurologist. He had some flatness but not to the level where he needed a helmet. We are big fans. We used this at nap and bedtime and had something similar for his car seat. We used it from 6 to just over 9 mns.

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.

Yes. Babies should be able to hold their head up. There is not enough support for a wobbly head.

If the child can hold up their head with a helmet on, it will work fine. My kids didn't fall into that category at that age, but all kids are different.

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 have made one 3 hour trip since buying this seat for my 23 month old who still fits all other requirements other than being 24 months old. When she first fell asleep her head rested comfortably to the side. I did not measure the time this happened but eventually her head had fallen forward and was bobbing.

I think every babies head must be different.. my son never had a problem with this and his head is still nice and round. Although he does like to move his head to the side at times while he sleeps in it..

Our daughter was born with reflux and slept in this sleeper for the first 9 months. It helped greatly to keep her elevated to deal with the reflux HOWEVER, yes she did develop a flat spot on one side of her head because she always laid with her right ear pressed to her right shoulder. We even considered getting her a helmet at one time, but decided against it. She is now 14 months and sleeps on her belly in her crib (she rolls over, we do not place her like that) and still has a flat spot on her head. I wish I had known to use a neck support with this sleeper, I think it would have helped greatly. Our daughter was born with reflux and slept in this sleeper for the first 9 months.

We recline when we think our 23 month old will fall asleep and it works well and prevents the forward head slump. If we forget though she slumps her head.

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:)

I put my granddaughter in it who is 25 inches long, 4 months old and 13 pounds. She slumps to one side. I would think it works better for a 6 month old who has more neck control. It does not lie flat so baby will always be upright or semi-upright. After using it for two weeks, she has already gained more control and a rolled blanket is keeping her more upright. She has no trouble falling asleep in it.

If you can get them to keep it on, my 12 month old wears it fine. It has an adjustable strap on the back that is easy to use and tightens the straps once the helmet is on. Just tight enough to keep them from pulling it off. Package says 3+ for age but that's not true. I'd say mine will be using hers till she's at least 5.

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 depends more on neck strength. You should check with your doctor to get guidelines. My ped had cleared my son to ride in one at 6 months but I didn't feel comfortable putting him in it yet because keep in mind, they need to be able to sit up and have strong control of their head with a helmet on. I've heard its safest to wait til they're a year old but yeah check with your doc.

A 3 month old in the front would not work. The seat does not recline and sits almost straight up. The child will need good neck and head control to sit in the front.

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!

We bought this for our daughter for her 4th birthday, and it fit her very well then, and it still fits her well now (she'll be 5 in a couple of months). It is adjustable, and we have had no problems with it; it wasn't like we had to make it as tight as it could go when we first bought it, and we aren't making it super loose now. Her head has always been big (like, in the 90th+ percentile at the doctor's), though, if that makes any difference. I think you'd be okay, unless your daughter's head is on the very small side.
