Does this seat give your little one head support while they are sleeping? I would like a seat that prevents the child's head from "dangling"?

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

No. I don't know of any that do. I bought them little neck cushions to minimize the dangle. The seats do recline but that doesn't solve the dangle either. Making sure the chest clip is as high as possible helps too.

I have to say, I often find their heads tilted to the side. I usually roll a blanket and put it on the side of their heads that they tend to sleep on (have twins). For my 3 year old it seems to work better.

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was 6 weeks old. He was around 10lbs and 22 inches at the time. It provides support for his neck and head. He wasn't very interested in the toys at first, but they are starting to get his attention now. I recommend it if your child prefers sitting up like mine. However, my son holds his head up pretty well.

I don't have any problems with that happening since my child's head usually falls to the side and is caught by the side wings. Overall this is a great seat and my child always falls to asleep in it

I know it may not be recommended for babies that young, but the pillow is just supposed to relieve pressure from laying on the mattress pad. It gives cushion, so it isn't an issue which direction the baby turns its head! Hope this helps! :)

Yes, the head support is great... My little guy is still so happy in it at 5 months! He came home from the NICU in it and we never had an issue with his head hanging.

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..

It doesn't really provide any support for sitting. You can use a blanket/pillow to prop your daughter upright in the seat, as long as she has good head/neck control. I didn't really start using this with my daughter until she was closer to 5 months.

My 2 year old daughter uses it, and she's a stomach sleeper. As she falls asleep her head is on it, but by morning she's fallen off.

We got this to get our 8lb girl through the airport. We did use an insert to steady her head as it doesn't recline fully. But it's fathomable that an infant could fall asleep in it.

The recline position depends on how you have it installed. There is more of a recline when it's rear facing than when it's front facing. My boys are now sitting front facing, and their heads do not fall forward when they sleep.

hi Anne - this is one "feature" of the seat that completely blows me away. In our old Graco seat, our son's poor head would nod back and forth when he'd sleep. hit the breaks and his head would just bob forward, often waking him up. In these Recaro seats, they did something with the design / angle that this NEVER happens. I have no clue why but my wife and I talk about this all the time. It just works

Yes, even if your baby sleeps lightly. The only way to elevate the footrest is to push down on the handlebar so that the front wheel comes off the ground. This will tip the baby backwards and make him or her even more comfortable while sleeping.

no the head rest does not recline, my daughter still falls asleep and her head tends to go to the side head rests however. Also you might want to check the safety of such seat as I really don't think a recliner booster would be safe.

Yes, it does, but I doubt that there is a car seat in which this does not happen to some degree. I sometimes tuck in a blanket or a stuffed toy on the side of my kid's head and that helps to prop it up.

Yes it does. I bought this for my two year old who is on the small side, and it was too much for her. I don't know if she was too light to really sink down into pillow, but it kept her head at an uncomfortable position

If your baby's head falls forward when they sleep they should not be forward facing. Their head should not fall forward in a rear facing postition. My 9 month old does great in his.

It actually only works for bigger kids bc there is not a divot where the neck rests so if it a small child it actually pushes their head forward if they fall asleep. It is really soft and cozy for relaxing in their car seat but not great for sleeping. I have a 5, 3 and 1 yr old and can't use it for sleeping for any of them. Hope that helps!
