If your baby's head falls forward when they sleep they should not be forward facing. Their head should not fall forward in a rear facing postition. My 9 month old does great in his.

Yes u can my child meets the requirements for the seat to be faced forward in height but not weight so I had her faced backwards but I'm turning her forward soon hopefully if not she fine backwards Thanks hope that answers Ur question And I love the seat cause when she falls asleep u don't have to worry bout adjusting her head because of the head supports..

My son snoozes happily in it. The "wings" at head level really help keep his head in a comfortable position. The only issue we have is his rear end gets sore - but really, that could happen in any seat after a long ride when your legs don't touch the ground.

It does but either the baby seat is way far back or rather upright. I don't think the upright is too far forward but I wouldn't lay the carseat so far back b/c the baby would have his/her head lower that his/her legs.

if your baby need a little more support sitting, then no. I would still recommend something with more cushion.we had to make a cover for the back had rest, or put a blanket, because they throw themselves back and hit there heads pretty hard on the wood.

My son is 7 1/2 months and is very big for his age and we still use this product. We keep it in his stroller now, it's great for when he falls asleep it provides better support for his head than just laying on the stroller backrest

Maybe? This has come up on car-seat.org several times. It seems Diono has said yes it is OK, but they had to draw the line somewhere. If you feel your child is OK in the more upright position, then I guess it becomes a parental decision. I will point out, though, that my 2 1/2yo often slumps in this seat when sleeping, so with an 8mo, it might be even worse. I don't think you're going to get a hard and fast yes or no. You could call diono yourself and see what they are currently saying. http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2139611&postcount;=35

Yes, my son has never complained about the seat and he really likes how comfortable it is. The sides of the head read and seat are helpful when he falls asleep. When our daughter gets old enough we're getting her one too!

We recline when we think our 23 month old will fall asleep and it works well and prevents the forward head slump. If we forget though she slumps her head.

If your child is rear-facing, how can her head tilt forward?? I don't see how that is possible if the seat is correctly installed. For the love people, read the instructions or go down the your local fire department to get it installed properly! Your child's life depends on it!

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

I doubt it would because it doesn't attach to the seat. My car seat faces forward and that keeps it in place. I think it would fall down on your child.you probably need to get a full seat cover.

Not really. The back part of pillow us too thick and if tilts the child's head forwards too much. For car rides you need something that is more narrow in the back.

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.

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.

My son was probably 9 months old when I got it and it worked fine. I don't believe it reclines all the way down though. I agree, you would potentially need to add blankets or towels to avoid the head from moving side to side.

Until very recently (and my son is now 8 months old and rather long for his age), my son often fell asleep in this car seat for hours (well after we were out of the car). It's hard to say if babies would find it uncomfortable, but he certainly doesn't seem to mind it :-)
