My DS is 5 and a half months and tomorrow we are off to Tauranga to visit his grandaddy

He often falls asleep on the drive which is fine, but his head tends to fall forward and it looks SO uncomfortable and I'm sure he must get a sore neck.

Anyone got any ideas how to make him more comfortable? I have tried to put something under his head but this doesn't really work.

Can you recline the carseat a bit further back? If it's in the infant mode it's usually pretty good for sleeping in.

Oh DS does this too and looks really uncomfortable! No matter how hard we try we can't get him to put it back. Caide is still in his capsule though so don't think we can recline it any further?

Lisette you can try a rolled up towel at the front of the capsule to recline it further. We had to do that to get our capsule to recline enough. We also used a happi baby insert.

We had to do this with our capsule too - the slant of some car back seats is such that the capsule doesn't sit as level as it should. It's actually potentially quite dangerous for very tiny babies for their heads to flop forward like that. If you're in any doubt Plunket will always check and make sure it's at the right level and they got me to pop a rolled up bath towel under our fixed base.

Does your car have bucket seats or seats that slope?

Ours do and we found out we hadn't actually put the capsule in correctly with the seats like that so had to put the towel under to make it flat iygwim, solved the problem but now she is trying to sit she likes to pull herself forward!!
