Does the baby sit reclined enough in this seat that his head won't hang?

Absolutely. No question about it. We tried about 4 seats before being totally pleased with that aspect, and found this to be our favorite by far!

Yes, the head support is great... My little guy is still so happy in it at 5 months! He came home from the NICU in it and we never had an issue with his head hanging.

yes my babys head is very comfortable in this seat. note that the base also adjusts to offer more recline. this is my fourth infant seat and definately the best.

Yes this car seat is wondeful! I did two hours of research and found this one to be one of the best! My son is pretty tall for his age and this rear facing was great for him bc it allows for taller children to still be rear facing!!

Hi, When my baby is asleep I recline the seat. That is usually enough. I also sometimes tuck a small stuffed animal next to his head and under his chin a bit to prop him up. There are three recline positions. One is sitting up straight, two is leaning back, three is leaning way back at about a 60 degree angle. It says in the instructions not to use the three position while facing forward, However I do use it when he is sleeping and he is quite comfortable that way.

Yes, but you'll probably have to make adjustments. I bought a head support pillow set for baby's carseat, and have used that effectively to keep my LO's head from lolling about and keep it in one of the more reclined positions until he gains better neck control. I bought: JJ Cole Head Support Graphite and it includes TWO head support pillows of different sizes.

I have made one 3 hour trip since buying this seat for my 23 month old who still fits all other requirements other than being 24 months old. When she first fell asleep her head rested comfortably to the side. I did not measure the time this happened but eventually her head had fallen forward and was bobbing.

You should most likely ask your pediatrician. I would say it's okay once the baby is able to support themselves in a sitting position.

Yes baby is supported but it really needs straps. Once the baby can raise it's head it can roll out.

It has 3 positions when rear facing, upright, almost upright, and a position that is approx 45 degrees. Yes you can recline when the baby is in the seat, although it might be difficult because the lever is located near the child's feet, so it is close to the back seat of the car if it is this in a rear facing position.

My older one yes, my baby is now a year and loves reclining. I just hang a car seat toy off one of the buckles and she does great.

It does recline, so that helps for newborn support. I bought this when my son was a week old. He was tiny in it, but it worked.

I have mine rear facing for my 13 month son. We mostly have it reclined but can not recline to all positions. I think it would sit up to all the positions but this is not necessary because his head would slump forward. He is reclined enough though. I can adjust it whenever I need and it is already belted into the seat. The annoying thing for us is tightening the dang straps!

I think if he can hold his head up he should be able to sit in it!He would love it!! My grandson loves his!

No it does not. But the problem most are experiencing with this high chair is that the seat naturally reclines back too far, making it difficult for smaller babies to sit comfortably, such as mine.

Yes the seat reclines enough and the buckle works great. Its a good buy my little girl loves it. My child is 9 months and she has been using it since 6 months.

We bought our set of mats for the baby to sit on when she was just learning to sit. We didn't worry about her bonking her head when she fell over.

This is our third Recaro, and from our experience, the headrest does not cause the child's head to fall forward.

It can be, yes! The seat reclines which would support a wobbly head. I've had mine since my child was 4 months old.

Not really as it doesn't recline flat. It reclines enough for the baby to sleep.
