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.

    • There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it.  
    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.  
    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
