Can it hold an older child 's (of 2,3, or 4) head from bobbing or falling forward when sleeping in a car seat?

Depending on the height o the child (as mine are genetically longer) I would say no. In my opinion, the limit may be 2.

In my opinion no. This product isn't big enough to accommodate larger children as it is designed for infants. For that instance I would recommend researching travel pillows for toddlers.

The head portion is reattachable so can be used separately. It might help to support a younger toddler's (2 year old) head in the car seat. But the body and leg part would be too small for any toddlers.

Yes, it does work like a 3 in 1. It's lightweight and east to move from car to car too. We did find that our 6 month old falls asleep and her head tilts forward a bit, so we rolled 2 cotton flannel blankets and placed them like head supports and it's much better now!

It would hold but if the child we re to get nasty and move his legs alot it could tip. My eldest son's carseat, the arms are shorter so it sits more on his lap. Luckily the one who bounces and attempts to "dance and kick at the dvd player is the younger one" both had cups and snacks to Florida and back to NY

Somewhat. You should be able to pull the straps tight and basically the seat belt will hold it tighter once child is in.

I don't know how old your child is, but I can't imagine a cup holder working for a child that isn't sleeping. This cup holder is a gimmick, our kids hands work well for holding the cup while they're drinking from it, then the floor of the car holds it for a while - just make sure the cup has a lid!

If this answers your question, the baby sits upright in the seat and there is no support specifically for the head of the child. The back of the seat is slightly higher than the front, but it will not be tall enough to support the head. I too would recommend that the child be able to hold their head up on their own before safely using this product.

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

The Graco Nautilus is a good car seat all in all, but has bad reclining feature. I agree, the recline feature seems to be only for fitting it into your car, not for the comfort of your child. My son is 2 years, and we keep struggling with his head bobbing around with every turn or when the car slows down (momentum pulls his head forward) - poor guy... You may want to try it out in the car you're fitting it in to see if it helps to adjust the car seat while the grace is fixed into it.

Boosters sit the child more upright than their previous car seats which are tilted backward. This would be like you falling asleep in your seat with the exception of the awesome sides on the headrest which comfortably support my son's head when he falls asleep in the car. Just like in your own seat, you can tilt his seat back and the booster will tilt with it. Otherwise the head could fall forward but my son always manages to seek one of the sides to rest his head as you or I would if we were dozing in the seat. Hope that helps!

In my opinion yes it can and the instructions that come with the carrier show you how to position a baby to support the head. Its very snug and therefore will hold a newborn very securely. I used mine with my son after he was a month old and it was fine.

Yes I think so, this just sits under the car seat so you could just slide it out, it will be a little more work when you go to replace it. I personally think even with the adjuster in place it is still reclined enough for baby to sleep comfortably, I've never thought to remove it and my little girls head has never fallen forward.

No. It is only about a foot from the ground and the kiddos feet are on the ground, or the shouldnt be on it. If the little one isnt able to manage a strong upright seated position and control their balance fairly well I wouldn't use it. There are carseats on pulleys for littler ones that require more positional support.

It would depend on the car seat. If it is an infant car seat, I don't think it would work, they lean back to far. If it is a regular sized car seat, and faces the rear, I think it would work just fine.

Your child definietly must be able to hold head up without support. That's the best guideline in my opinion.

I would have to say yes. There are a few areas with extra padding that can be kept in place, when your child is still very small, and removed as your child grows. The padding at the very bottom of the seat will hold your young guy very nicely. I bought this for my son and he loves it, and so do I. This is really the one car seat that can grow with your child, without having to buy multiple seats as they grow.

Yes my 2 and 3 year olds can slump, but they also rest on the side "pillows" too. As a mom of 8, I have had more car seats than I can count. This one is by far the best in quality, safety and design for parents/children. I bought 3 for my toddlers and for my infant. Since she will be rear facing, I also bought the wedge to help with the slumping issue and the amount of space the seat will require in this position.

No, I wouldn't recommend that. It is strong for the price but not steady enough to safely support a child in a car seat. There is only one little bungee cord to hold whatever you're carrying. I think you should spend your money on a stroller designed for a child's safety in mind. Please don't buy this to transport your child. Don't take Mimi's advice.
