    Car seat uncomfortable?

    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.

    She hasn't complained about her back though

    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

    Re:

    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.
