Do you need to use an infant support pillow for their head with this?

There is a head support built in, so you don't need to worry about it. Plus, you should always read the booklet that comes with car seats because many void the warranty if you add items like pillows, strap covers, and supports.

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

We just brought our newborn home yesterday :) seems okay but wouldn't hurt to have extra neck support - I'm going to get a small neck pillow

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! :)

Infants should not use pillows because of SIDS. I think the recommendation is no pillow until age 2.

Not necessary; however the cradler helps to support your baby head the best when they are newborn and the first couple months. Sometime the snuzzler doesnt fit quite well. But the banana cradler you can adjust it and support baby's head when they fall asleep on one side. Hope this helps :)

Yes, Lexi, you sure can- as long as your infant is 5lbs and up and use the provided insert. It fits rear facing, and with an infant you won't need the head rest yet.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

Yes. We r using a pillow for our 3 yr old. A piece foam would be recommended to avoid sliding

Yes, one of the main functions/purposes for this item is to prevent flat spots on the back of the head in infants. It also comes with a neck support piece, but we never used that (my son was born with a fairly strong neck and did not need it). We used the other Boppy version with our first child after the pediatrician noted she was getting a flat spot. Used this version with our second child from the start and he never developed a flat spot.

no, its will hurt the baby's neck. my son is about 7 months old when he used this, he pretty much love it. Good for infant who can control their head/neck, or at least have a strong neck to support their heavy head.

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

No. You need to provide a support pillow for that My daughter has the tiny love seat which provides much more support

If this answers your question, the baby sits upright in the seat and there is no support specifically for the head of the child. The back of the seat is slightly higher than the front, but it will not be tall enough to support the head. I too would recommend that the child be able to hold their head up on their own before safely using this product.

I guess it depends on what size or how old your little one is. I can tell you that car seat manufacturers do not recommend putting anything extra in the car seat that the car seat didn't come with for safety reasons. What some parents of little babies do is roll up receiving blankets and put to the sides of head for support. I only used this car seat after my lo outgrew the pumpkin seat. So he was old enough not to need extra support.

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

The Support Is Pretty Good. Our One Year Old Leans To The Side And Her Head Stays There Without The Straining. She Does Tend To Just Hang Her Neck Down The Middle. When That Happens, Theres Not Much Help
