hello guys,


Our toddler's head keeps falling forward and flopping down while she sleeps. It bothers her and we plan to do some long drives at night. Is this common and have you guys experienced it? Were there any magic solutions?


This happened in the old car seat but still happens in the new seat (Joie i-Advance). I'm particularly annoyed because I bought the Joie seat because in the video it looked like it reclined a long way, but in reality the recline is slightly less than vertical.


Have any of you used the Trunki Yondi to prop their chins up?


Advice gratefully received :)

Are you using the seat forward or rear facing? If rear facing where abouts are the straps compared to her shoulder? We were having issues with my 3 year old and flopping over in her car seat but then realised I'd put the straps up a slot too far, and putting them back and maximising the recline fixed it.


In terms of the head flop - is it just her head or does her body flop over too and outside the shell of the seat. The first is safe enough for most older kids but if they fall outside it isn't.


Have also used the Trunki Yondi for my kids - my youngest quite likes it, my older one doesn't. Worth a go anyway as not expensive.

I have a recaro car seat the elongated padded sides are meant to prevent head falling all over the show. I miss my maxi cosi tobi car seat which reclined amazingly. My daughter got to tall for it and my car is quite low so we had to change. Maybe invest in a neck pillow??

Thanks everyone.


It's not her body, as she's strapped in securely. It's just her head and it does bother her. I'm annoyed because I looked at their product videos which definitely made it appear as though the seat reclined significantly. We have it at maximum recline when she's just normally sitting in it - you wouldn't think it was on a recline at all!


Cheers

I also bought a Joie car seat and planned to use it rear-facing. But because the rear seat of the car is very sloped, it just wouldn't recline enough, and our girl's head would always flop forwards. So we have no choice but to use it forward facing.

Emily Rose, we used the cyber isofix seat for our child and it was brilliant. I hated seeing him lulled forward on a car journey, and this seat did the trick. He is now too big for it, so we have it for sale. Let me know if your are interested. We have all relevant fixings, it is in really good condition. Here is the Which link, ours is plain black.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
