Is it just a pillow, or head support for an infant?

I believe it was intended to be just a pillow but when my daughter was very little it helped support her head. Now that she is almost 6 months is just a pillow.

It's like just extra cushion. Not quite head support for an infant so I guess it's just a pillow

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

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

It just appears to be regular pillow, it was too bulky to use in a car seat or stroller ( my son was uncomfortable ) and I didn't feel safe using in the crib without constant supervison. I won't buy again...

I would suggest your child be able to hold their head up on their own as the back support isn't built in such a way to hold up their head and neck. My nephew set in this when he was much younger and it was fine for him to look around at the items but they used a small pillow to add support.

Hmm.. I'm not sure. I liked it because it just felt like it would cradle him more. I like how it supports his head. This way we can put him down with his head on either side and he still has a little pillow cushion. Now that my son is getting older, he tries to crawl off the changing pad a lot and we have to distract him with toys. The curvature keeps the toys on the pad with him and also slows him down a tiny bit. I don't think there are any drawbacks I can think of, maybe a few very small benefits in my book.

I don't believe 1 month old needs a pillow. At this age babies necks are too short and delicate and pillows may be uncomfortable. I stopped using this pillow when my babies flat spot on his head improved and almost gone.

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.

No, this is not meant to be used as a nursing pillow as it does not contour your body. It is meant to be used in addition to a regular boppy. A place for them to chill out while you are getting ready to nurse or right after you finish.

There is no additional support. I purchased this when my toddler outgrew her infant seat so she did not need the neck support, but if you have a smaller one and feel he/she needs it then you will have to purchase this separately. I love the seat though.

Yes it will accommodate a newborn, but the head will still need extra support!

We did not use an additional support pillow and our infant fit perfectly. We used swaddling blankets for support at the very beginning. Our little man was 9 lbs at birth for reference.

It's a regular size pillow. Depending on your head size, it should be ok. The side are not really firm. The pillow will probably be too big for a child. Hope this helps

According to my daughter you do have to support her head. Also, she is made if rubber and it is weighted like a real baby.

Yes it is on the heavy side and a little on the big side (you wont be able to put it on the front of a shopping cart but that's unsafe anyway, it will fit in the cart). As far as cushioning I think it has enough to protect baby and I always recommend those neck pillows to keep the babys head in place (my preference)...overall I love it, my son seems comfortable.

I know it may not be recommended for babies that young, but the pillow is just supposed to relieve pressure from laying on the mattress pad. It gives cushion, so it isn't an issue which direction the baby turns its head! Hope this helps! :)

I purchased this pillow for my new granddaughter. It didn't secure the baby's head, in fact it juted her head forward because her head wouldn't fit between the side pillows and that was as a newborn. I definitely would not purchase it again.
