Does head tilt forward sleeping in Britax Boulevard? Do the deep side wings prevent the child's head from tilting forward while sleeping?

I actually DID go to a fire department and had mine installed and my 5 month old's head still tilted fwd in a rear facing carseat...

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!

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

The head rest does not recline. To make the seat fit better in our car, we removed the head rest that is behind this booster, and then the booster back was completely flushed with the car's seat and this helped my son's head to not flop forward when sleeping. The seat of our car reclines a few inches and the entire back of this booster reclines with our car's seat, which is a nice feature when we are traveling at night.

Yes, I'd say a 4-yr old can sleep in it...mine sure sure does. But the head falling forward, I don't know of any seat that prevents that. I sometimes roll a small towel and tuck it in between his head and the head rest to help keep his head tucked to the side.

The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position). It folds to about a 45 degree angle to allow the infant car seat to snap into place if the car seat is in the front position. So far we have only had the infant car seat in the back and our toddler sitting in the front part, but have set it up both ways. As for the whole stroller, it does not fold flat due to the wheels like the other reviewer stated. We just traveled across the world with our stroller, through four airports and three flights. We are very happy with the sturdiness of it and even after three gate checks it looks brand new. The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position).

I have to say, I often find their heads tilted to the side. I usually roll a blanket and put it on the side of their heads that they tend to sleep on (have twins). For my 3 year old it seems to work better.

That only happened occasionally when my daughter fell asleep. Make sure if he is rear facing that before install you have reclined the seat all the way. Another thing we did to prevent this was adjust the height so that the head piece was more level with her head/ears; this actually seems to have fixed the problem with her head flopping forward because she can rest it to the side better.

It must be, my son falls asleep in it all the time... even when he refuses to at home. All it takes is a car ride :) I like the wings around the head, we have the seat slightly reclined and his head never flops down he keeps straight because of the sides

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.

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

I don't have any problems with that happening since my child's head usually falls to the side and is caught by the side wings. Overall this is a great seat and my child always falls to asleep in it

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.

I flew with this carseat. For its size, I thought it was surprisingly lightweight. We used a luggage cart and laid it face down on top of the other suitcases and it balanced fine. A flight attendant helped us install it into our coach seat, but it seemed easy enough. It only fit forward facing. My one year old slept the whole flight in this carseat :)

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.

No. The screens tilt to get a better viewing angle, but the headrest does not change positions for the front passenger.

The back does not recline to 180 degrees (flat). However, it reclines to a flat-enough position for the average baby/toddler to sleep comfortably. The front wheel has an easy flick-switch option to lock into a straight position, or unlock to swivel 360.

Not much. Child head will still go forward just not as much as without the tilt option.

Ours doesn't recline at all. This is really good for traveling so you don't have to carry the child, but definitely not really for sleeping.
