Car seat uncomfortable?

[Ginger]

Hi there, ds1 (4 years old) is in a safe n sound hi-liner booster seat and constantly complains about it hurting his back.
does anyone else have this problem?
is there anything i can do about out, without compromising the safety of the seat?
TIA

If it's because the back is to hard try a sheepskin rug or towel and this should soften the back against his back.

I was going to post about this seat too...DD gets pins and needles in her feet!
She hasn't complained about her back though

thanks rivlas. i rang a baby store and they suggested the sheep skin rug thing too. i rang the maker of the seat today but they are closed for xmas.
olive- he has complained about having sore feet in it too

Might be a pressure point it's hitting, especially if there are pins and needles... I'm going to guess that you ensure they are sitting correctly and that isn't the cause

Hi Ginger, I'm guessing that your car is equipped with a tilt steering wheel. Maybe it's the telescoping kind. If so, in either case, try adjusting it so your shoulders aren't hunched forward to reach it. Move the seat forward if necessary. I think that the positioning of your arms makes a world of difference - at least it has for my worn out back.

huh?...

I'd check the cushioning, might be that it's slipped a bit.

My only suggestion would be the sheep skin rug, have heard of it working for some friends in the past.
