This was a waste of money. I got it so that my daughters head would not fall forward while she was sleeping in her car seat but the part that goes behind her head is so bulky that it actually pushes her head forward. It also limits their head movement when they are awake, so I had to take it off anyway. It did not hug her head like it is shown in the picture. I think you would be better off with one of those small boppy like pillows they make for this same purpose and just put it under their chin when they fall asleep.

I bought this for my second son's infant carseat before he was born. My first son always had a slumpy head in his carseat and the rainbow shaped head supports were useless. This works great. It did a wonderful job of keeping his head supported even when we were comming home from the hospital and I am still using it today, 5 mos. later. I wish I would have had one for my older son, and I would definately recommend it.

This really works! Ever since my 20month old started using his Graco Booster, his head would drop to his chest when he falls asleep in the car. The cradler manages to keep his head steady so it doesn't droop. I'd definitely recommend this.

The Cradler is a simple product that can make a huge difference! Soft and easy to use, it installs by Velcro to the straps of the car seat. Since my son's head is supported while he is sleeping, he tends to sleep longer on flights as well as in the car. I wait until he is sleeping to put the Cradler on. This item is highly recommended to my "Jet With Kids" readers!

If your son is anything like mine (growing like a weed) and you need to move to the bigger car seat before 9-12 months then this product is really great. At 5 months my son was getting really cramped in the infant carrier car seat, so we went out and got him the infant to toddler car seat. However, he is still to short for his head to be in pillow it came with. Therefore, when we would be driving his head would slump over. So, we decided to try the Kiddopotamus Cradler Adjustable Head Support and it has worked great. No more slumping head and it works great on those long car rides too. Now I don't have to worry that his head isn't in a stable position if we were to get into an accident or just in an uncomfortable position. Therefore, I would highly recommend this product if you have the same problem we did :)

Well I bought this item since my 3 months old baby always tips his head to one side when falls asleep in his car seat. This head support basically does it job, but when he's awake he gets very uncomfortable, since it restrains his heads to much. So I don't know if I should recommend it, but maybe it can work for someone else, depending on the baby's temperament.

I have two children now, and I wish this item had been available when my older daughter was born. I have tried everything to keep my babies' heads from slumping over in the car, and nothing worked 100% of the time. This however does. It is one of the best things I have ever purchased for my child and it's very inexpensive.

Our 1 year old uses this on long road trips and it works great. Yes, her head still goes forward at times, but I really don't think there is one on the market that will prevent this problem. It does, however, prevent her head from slumping down sideways, and allows a nice pillow for her head to fall on. I am very happy with this item and would buy it again if I had to!

I've tried to position this thing several different ways with very little success. My son is 7 months and when he falls asleep in his carseat his head ends up straight forward chin to chest. I'll give it one more try then it's gonna be returned. Disappointing! Another reason I rated this so low, is the Velcro strap that attaches behind the head was to short. With the strap connected the pillow forces my sons head forward. This product would probably work better in an infant carrier/car seat because it is reclined more. But as for preventing "floppy head" in a proper carseat it gets a BIG ZERO!! ALSO I DON"T see how this thing could fit a toddler's head (as seen on packaging). I guess you wouldn't use the strap but then were does the strap go? The Velcro is rough; I'm sure it would end up caught in the kids hair. Whatever, as I said ZERO stars if I was able to do that.

This item does not stay in place. If my baby leans forward the sides fall inward, then she cannot put her head back because they are in her way. They are also pretty restrictive when they cradle her head, but do not prevent her head from slumping forward when she sleeps. We used it for a weekend and it bothered her so much she began crying each time we put her in the car. I asked around and was told by a number of parents that the u-shaped neck pillows are more helpful.
