Can a child sleep comfortably in this seat? It seems too "upright to me" and I am afraid the head will be wobbling all the time.

I have made one 3 hour trip since buying this seat for my 23 month old who still fits all other requirements other than being 24 months old. When she first fell asleep her head rested comfortably to the side. I did not measure the time this happened but eventually her head had fallen forward and was bobbing.

The head does wobble; in spite of that my son sleeps on the chair soundly. Maybe of those neck pillows will help? Buy yes, the chair is much more upright than the britax boulevard, for example.

My son has slept better in this one than his previous seat. He hasn't had much head wobbling.

My child is 2 and naps perfectly and looks comfortable when in her seat :) this is truly the best carseat out there in my opinion. When it is buckled it does not move AT ALL. My husband tried moving the seat from side to side and it still wouldn't budge. It's definitely secured to the seat well.

As long as the seat size is a good fit for your child it should be no problem. My son sleeps fine with his head resting on the side panels and his head does not wobble about. Again, just ensure that the seat is adjust properly for the child's size. If it's too upright, you can adjust it so that it props the child at a slight incline. hope this helps. We love this seat although during the first few days of use I thought about returning because it didn't feel as sturdy as the Frontier...but it feels perfect now.

yes my babys head is very comfortable in this seat. note that the base also adjusts to offer more recline. this is my fourth infant seat and definately the best.

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Doesn't seem like it reclines back that much, but my daughter has slept while on it ( sometimes more than 2 hours) so it's definitely comfortable enough.

no the head rest does not recline, my daughter still falls asleep and her head tends to go to the side head rests however. Also you might want to check the safety of such seat as I really don't think a recliner booster would be safe.

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

It seems as stable as any other high chair I've ever seen. I think it would take a concerted effort for any kid under 25 lbs. or so to tip this over if you've put him in the safety straps.

I have a 7month old and he is able to nap laying flat in the seat. I think it's pretty flat. I don't know how much leg support there is for older toddlers since mine is only 7month old!

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!

That only happened occasionally when my daughter fell asleep. Make sure if he is rear facing that before install you have reclined the seat all the way. Another thing we did to prevent this was adjust the height so that the head piece was more level with her head/ears; this actually seems to have fixed the problem with her head flopping forward because she can rest it to the side better.

If your child is able to sit up on his own with a helmet and not get tired, then physically, yes, he should be ready. There isn't any way for your child to recline with most bike seats, including this one, and if you go over any bumps that is going to add to the need for your child to have neck strength. Personally, with all the uncertainty about bouncing and brain development, etc., we didn't put our little one in this until he was 1.

Probably not. I have actually found that it is a little too tall for me and I am 5'6". It is also VERY firm. I don't think it would be a good angle for a kid's head.

It might be a bit too firm for a child that young..a great pillow but for teen or adult from my experience. Might ask your pediatrician. Merry Christmas.:)

I think every babies head must be different.. my son never had a problem with this and his head is still nice and round. Although he does like to move his head to the side at times while he sleeps in it..

It must be quite comfortable; my son has been sleeping on it since Xmas. However, I did put a mattress pad on it at the time of setting it up. It is now due for another pad because he had told me it's beginning to sink.

The seat back is pretty upright, more so than a regular car seat. Mine will fall asleep anywhere though so she's comfortable enough to sleep.

It depends on if you plan on using it rear facing or foward facing. My kid has no problem napping on a long car drive and he is still using it rear facing. The foward facing postion has less of a recline but to be honest it still looks like the child would be really comfortable.
