    Question Head flopping forward in the car seat.

    Hi all,
    I know this is a long shot, but is there a way to stop bubs heap flopping forward in the car seat when they are asleep. It is as reclined as possible, but ds can't lean his head sideways because there is no room between the head 'buffer' thingys. We've got a long trip this weekend.
    Any ideas much appreciated.

    mmmm not sure... is the seat forward or rear facing? maybe if its forward facing you could try rear facing, depending on how big your bub is

    Nina's still flops forward, and she's over 2. I think some kids do it, some kids don't.

    I was at Baby Bunting the other day and they have this whole range of neck cushion things that *I think* are designed specifically to help with this problem. I almost got one for DS, but I thought they looked a little small for him, as he has a HUGE neck (like, I have a problem finding bibs....!)

    Maybe check out your local baby store?

    Have a good trip!

    DS is over 3 and still slumps forward....
    they move when its to uncomfortable for them(then usually fall back in to that position 5 minutes later)

    I was going to suggest a neck roll too.
    I'm sure you can buy them from most baby stores
