Do the kids heads flop forward when they fall asleep?

We have only had it about a week and we have only had our 2 year old in it for a little while. The chest straps are pretty loose on her but I think you could tighten them up a bit. I wouldn't put a young baby in there as there isn't too much structure to the whole seat. It is comfortable for my 2 year old but we haven't used it enough to tell. Sorry!

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.

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

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.

I did . But what I did noticed is that every time my baby would fall asleep in the car seat his head would totally go forward . I would literally extend my arm while driving and hold his head upright until we got to our destination . I later on figured out that it was this thing that would caused my baby to sleep with his head forward. I wanted to return it but the expiration expired . Good luck

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

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

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.

It is pretty upright, but my 3 year old doesn't have a problem falling asleep in it. he just turns his head to the side and put a blanket between his shoulder and head. I will say it is more upright than say a britax or something, but those don't go up as high in weight as this.

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.

The headrest doe not recline. The entire seat back adjusts to the angle in your vehicle, and the upper headrest area adjusts up and down to position it properly for your child. We particularly chose this model for the extended side protection in that event. Our daughter does not sleep much in the car, however if she does we find she rests her head on either side of the padded side protection because of the design.

No they don't recline. I started using it when my son was barely 2 and he seems ok

I use it primarily in the car (while my child is in his carseat) as that is when he tends to need it due to sleeping and sitting, like on a long car trip. It does tilt his head forward, but we move it around to fit properly. My husband tried putting it on our son backwards so it propped his chin up while he was sleeping. Worked pretty well for us! :)

It is really upright and their head slumps forward which can be dangerous as it doesn't keep their airway open very well. I have let her nap in it supervised, but I wouldn't feel comfortable for overnight. Hope this helps!

Mostly. Obviously, it varies based on your size, but it largely prevents that. That's what I like about it... I always wake up when my head lolls forward.

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.
