Do kids fall/flop forward when asleep in shoulder harness only mode?

Our's don't - the side of the head is winged and they usually just lean into the winged area, it seat also has a slight recline to it so they just stay put.

My little girl doesn't but she's 4 so not sure about younger children I have to agree with one of the other comments ..We feel that this is simply the best car seat we have ever had

The harness keeps them pretty secure but the seat does offer a recline position. My grandson has not fell asleep in it yet, but it does have more padding along the side so I think it along with the harness and recline position, they should be secure.

All I can say is that this is the best car seat I have ever owned. Having four children, I wish the first three could have had this seat. Children sleep well in it. The deep side wells allow them to rest their heads and Not flop forward as much.

Yes, I push the zero gravity button and nap, it's great. You can also adjust the legs and back manually to whatever position is comfortable for you. I have a nice soft blanket that I keep handy for longer naps.I hope this helps.

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.

Yes they do! I have used my harness in case of an accidental fall in a number of situations. I haven't had any trouble ever with this harness. As a matter of fact the company I work for was so impressed with the construction of the harness they asked for Guardian Fall Protection's information.

No. I had to purchase another seat. The reason is both safety & comfort. This particular model of Saftey 1st booster has little to no side protection. When your child falls to sleep his/her head will drop off to the side or forward dramatically. There is nothing supporting the head. Worse still - in case of an accident your little one will experience serious whiplash for the same reason. I ended up buying a Britax Roundabout. Look for a booster with more side protection is my advise.

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.

Not really, unfortunately. The dump freely flips back on mine, and my son falls down every time he tries.

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.

We took our son on a short hike a few weeks ago (he was just over 13months) and he did fall asleep in it. I mean it looked hellishly uncomfortable to me because his head was horizontal while his body was vertical, but he was out for 45 minutes of the walk back to camp. He seemed fine when we got back and woke him up getting him out of it. Almost like he was annoyed that we got him out. Is it comfortable? Who knows. I can't really ask him. Will he fall asleep? Yes, if he's tired enough.

Wow what a interesting question, let me just say that after put this shoulder strap on there is another clipped strap that secures it futher that goes under the arm, plus you can adjust the strap with sliding clamps to prevent it in a standing position from moving, or swinging...but by leaning over to hug your child this may negate that. So after considering this for you, I'd have to say that I doubt that very few straps would be that secure. Hope this helps. Ps. I love this strap.

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..

Well, it forces you into better posture by pulling your shoulder blades together, so in that sense it does not allow you full movement, I use it at the computer and it's fine in allowing all the movements, the harness just simply resists your slouching. And you can put it on (and take it off) without assistance - like you would put on a t-shirt from "above" you head.

It actually only works for bigger kids bc there is not a divot where the neck rests so if it a small child it actually pushes their head forward if they fall asleep. It is really soft and cozy for relaxing in their car seat but not great for sleeping. I have a 5, 3 and 1 yr old and can't use it for sleeping for any of them. Hope that helps!

Did not have that problem. My kid weighs 35 lbs and you can't hear her turning over.

Yes my 2 and 3 year olds can slump, but they also rest on the side "pillows" too. As a mom of 8, I have had more car seats than I can count. This one is by far the best in quality, safety and design for parents/children. I bought 3 for my toddlers and for my infant. Since she will be rear facing, I also bought the wedge to help with the slumping issue and the amount of space the seat will require in this position.

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 have not reclined, I bought to use for my 2 and 4 year old. Was great for them. It's not a 5 point harness, so using on littles would scare me. Its great for the bigger kids. I actually have a BoB jogging stroller that has great recline and can fit an infant pillow that helps keep them comfy and in place.
