Second Time Mom,

This review is from: Knit Double Headrest - Navy (Baby Product)
I have seen a lot of reviews on this product where people think that it is not safe. Well I am a former EMS employee, and my husband is still currently an EMT and Firefighter. We both have seen many car wrecks which involved children, and the babies in car seats (correctly strapped in) with headrests came out of the wrecks better than those without. Newborns need the extra security and support for their heads and neck, they just do not have the strength on their own yet. We used one of these with our first child, we started out only used receiving blankets and quickly switched. They are easy to use and you only need them for a few months until your babies neck is strong enough. I think that most parents that are afraid of this product are first timers that have been given the wrong information by people who have not been there to see the real life results of using a car seat head rest that is correctly installed.

does what it's supposed to do,

This review is from: Knit Double Headrest - Navy (Baby Product)
After my first ride in the car with my son, I found him with his head in a very weird position due to lack of head control. The poor thing looked so uncomfortable and I swear I thought the jiggling had snapped his little neck! So I ran out and bought these head supporters. I have to say, they were helpful. I put the larger one in the swing and left the smaller one in the car seat. They did seem to help control the head bobbing until he was old enough to hold up his own head.
The cons: 1. the headrest does not really snap in to the seat anywhere, so basically you're just placing it in the seat (similar to what you'd do with a rolled up towel). 2. when we took our car seat to the police station to have it inspected, they didn't like the head rest placed in the car seat because it didn't fit securely (i.e. wasn't secured to the fabric) and because the seat had not been crash tested with the headrest in place. The alternatives they recommended were either to contact the manuafacterer and buy a head rest that HAD been crash tested in our particular seat model, or to just use rolled up towels. (I'm not sure what difference a towel would make in a crash, but I'm just repeating what they said) In the end, we disregarded what the police had recomended and just used the headrest until our son no longer needed them (which really wasn't all that long). The product worked fine and luckily we didn't need to test out the whole crash test theory. Having said that, would I buy this again? Probably not. Like I said, the product worked well and I gave it 4 stars because we really didn't have any problems with it, but all things considered, why not just roll up a couple of towels?

Great for swings, bouncers, and high chairs, too!,

These are actually two headrests in one--a small one for little babies and bigger (outer one) for larger babies. I LOVE that quality, b/c they come apart and you can use one or the other (or both, like the picture shows). I actually don't use this for my car seat. Instead, I have on on my daughter's swing (so her head doesn't roll) and on her bouncy seat also. They're soft and comfortable and cradles her head while she sits. LOVE it!
