how is this with children who are no longer swaddled? or who turn their head all the way to the side when they sleep?

My son loves to hold onto it for comfort when he sleeps. He would go back to suckling if he gets woken up. It just stays next to him if he lets go.

I don't use this for sleep. I typically use it in the car seat, swing, jumper, stroller. I use a normal pacifier for sleeping. I imagine the weight of it would cause it to fall out during sleep.

I haven't had it long. I just bought it for my grandchildren and it works out okay - not sure about adult sleeping. I'll have to try it out...sorry.

We used this with our 2 month old, at the most reclined position, so he was mostly laying down. However, my son was holding his head up on his own at roughly 7/8 weeks and this may have had something to do with his head staying in line with his body.

It's quite different from a typical sleeper. We have tried sleepers but they don't provide the weight and security of a swaddle. Our son is too big to swaddle but needs something to keep him from startling and waking himself. This suit does just that- it works great and he sleeps for hours at a time. My only complaint is the heavy material on a hot night...but not much can be done about that...

It is reccomended you flip the mattress at 12 months or when the child is 20 pounds. Some parents like to flip the mattress to the toddler side at the age of 12 months while others wait until the child is between 18 and 24 months. All of these are acceptable since both sides are designed to be safely used for infants and toddlers. While infants should be placed on their back to sleep on the firmer side, a toddler will most likely find the softer side more cozy. -found this online...

We took our son on a short hike a few weeks ago (he was just over 13months) and he did fall asleep in it. I mean it looked hellishly uncomfortable to me because his head was horizontal while his body was vertical, but he was out for 45 minutes of the walk back to camp. He seemed fine when we got back and woke him up getting him out of it. Almost like he was annoyed that we got him out. Is it comfortable? Who knows. I can't really ask him. Will he fall asleep? Yes, if he's tired enough.

I bought it for my 3yr old and she sleeps on it just fine. It actually keeps them more centered since it dips down in the center.

I know you are not supposed to, but I always used the toddler side because my baby slept better on the softer side. Technically, you are supposed to wait until they are a year old, but you really just have to do what works best for your family.

It reclines, but not very far. If your child can sleep in a more upright position, then it would be fine.

I don't think so. It doesn't tilt back for when they would want to sleep, therefore their heads would fall forward. The straps would ride too high around their head instead of their chest or shoulders. A car seat mounted on a stroller would work waaaaay better.

Very we'll naps are not a problem. Easy to do as well. just a pull of a string. And when they are ready to sit up and see what's going on you just pull it tight again.

Yes, my son sleeps on his stomach part of the time and it worked fine for him. I put it more to the one side that her tended not to favor when sleeping. The only issue I had with tummy sleeping is if they are laying on it and the alarm goes off, it isn't nearly as loud, so if you are a very sound sleeper, it might not wake you!

My twins are almost six months old and they still use them daily, but not for sleeping anymore. We had to start buckling them in around 4.5 months because they are starting to sit up.

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

Not much- it has a toggle on the back that will let you move it a little (kinda like a zip tie) but your child won't be able to lie down. That hasn't stopped our kids from falling asleep in in though. It's an ok little umbrella stroller but does not have any bells or whistles- good because it's light and compact- don't expext much more from it though.

I think my neck gets tired. But it's a great answer for me that has a spoiled kid. She is 8lbs and goes everywhere with me. I do recommend it highly,wish I would have had that idea.

Yes, I have twins and sometimes one falls asleep while the other takes in the scenery. One can be fully upright while the other can be getting cozy, fully reclined.
