This product is a great idea, and will definitely do the job if you must use it. But if your local police or fire station does car seat checks, go see them instead. They'll not only check your installation, they'll take your seat out, install it correctly, and give you free leveling and nonskid pieces. Do that instead!

This is a great item. WE put towels under the car seat with our first 2 kids. Then I went and saw this at babies r us and cant believe i hadnt gotten it sooner. It helps sit the baby with his/her feet up higher so when they are facing towards the back their little neck isn't falling foward. I dont know why car seat makers dont fix this problem.

We tried towels and noodles to get our car seats (3 different brands) to recline to the proper angle. Everything shifted or got mashed down to the point that seatbelt slack was also becoming an issue. I can't sing the praises loudly enough for this leveler, which offers 3 different fits so it works with different carseats and in different cars.

I thought this was great - it did it's job. But I quickly stopped using it when the professional car seat inspector told me that they are not recommended. They prefer to use the pool noodles as they work better. Thus, save your money and have your local police inspect your seat. They should provide you with the pool noodles.

I purchased this product after having my third child. I had always used rolled up towels before, but they always seemed to move under the car seat. This product held the infant seat in my Accord very firmly. It did not move around or become compressed easily like rolled up towels or blankets. It kept the seat at the appropriate angle!! My best friend also uses this item and she loves it too!

I bought this product due to the sloping seats in my Dodge Caravan and thought that it was going to be very useful. Boy, was I wrong. When I tried to put this under my infant carseat it brought the carseat so far away from the back of the seat that I was unable to safely buckle it. There was no way to get a tight fit for the carseat using the 1 inch rule. (the carseat should not move more than 1 inch in any direction) I again tried to use the leveler when we converted to a convertible carseat,and yet again no luck. I recommend the poll noddles, they are much easier to use and a fraction of the cost.

My son was born 4 weeks early and was much smaller than most full term infants. I had the hardest time riding him in my Honda Accord because of the lack of support and the angle of his carseat. Every time I would place him in the car, his head would fall completely forward & cause me to be very alarmed because he would literally appear as if his little neck was broken! When my son was about 3 or 4 weeks old, I found this WONDERFUL leveler at Babies R Us and both of us have been much happier since! My son, who is now 3 months old, is able to ride in the car comfortably without his head flopping around and falling forward once he goes to sleep.

I did have to cut a little of the length off of the leveler so I could buckle the seat belt.

I would highly recommend this product to all new parents, especially those with preemies or smaller than normal newborns. It is an excellent investment. Well worth the money spent!

I purchased this leveler to use with my Graco infant car seat. It came in handy to keep my son's head from tilting forward. The 3 sides lets you choose which is the best elevation you need. I highly recommend this to those who are using a towel or anything else for elevating their car seat. This leaves indentions in the leveler and not your seat. It's a great way to protect your seat too. This is a great product.

I too have a Ford Explorer, and this leveler fits just fine after I trimmed an inch or so off the end. It is just dense foam, easy enough to cut. Works better than rolled towels as it doesn't get flat after a while.

I second the idea of buying a water noodle and using it instead of spending money on this product. You can get them for about $1 at Walmart. Just cut it to fit your carseat width.
