Hi! My 1 yr old cries in the car, as did my older son in the same car seat. Wondering if the crying would stop or ease up in a new one. Any expierence

The car seat is padded with memory foam. That being said I have seen parents struggle with car seats no matter what the brand. My advice is to make sure that your child is properly fitted for the seat and that you observe whether or not your child's reaction is one of discomfort or discontent.

Hard to say. My second son was very much like that but when i switched him from infant to the next seat it mostly stopped. It completely stopped when i turned his seat around. But he also got car sick really easily when facing backwards.

While it depends on why your child is unhappy, it is possible a different seat could help. The boy I babysit is perfectly happy in this seat (18 months old and rear-facing), but cries constantly in the bulkier one his parents bought, even though they have it facing front. As far as I can tell, he likes to see out, and this one lets him. They eventually returned the other one and bought one of these. $250+ is an expensive gamble to stop the crying, you can't go wrong with the improved safety of these.

I used the Jolly Jumper Arctic with the Britax B-Agile car seat. It was fine for the first few months (my son was 3 months old when we first used it - a lifesaver), but by the time he was around 6 months, he was getting a little big to get in and out of the little opening without the cover popping off. By that time, I just put him into the seat and reinserted the cover. I recommend this cover over the JJCole (which I also owned, that went under and over him). I liked that this completely sealed him in the cold outdoors. With the JJ Cole, his head is exposed to the cold and the straps on the car seat got snug because of the blanket underneath him.

My kids (4 and 5--we bought 2 of these) don't really sleep in the car and on long trips we bring pillows but the few times they ended up asleep their heads end up in that little nook/cranny where you can see the headrest bows out in the picture. But I can see if your kid fell asleep in the right position, his chin ending up on his chest.Edit: Both my kids fell asleep in the car after a long day a few days ago. Both of them had their head cocked to the side resting against the headrest where it turns out (see picture).

That's a great question! I don't know! In fact, mine stopped playing all together yesterday! He's not even a year old! And I push the button and keep him where the kids with him, so it's not bc they're rough with him. Our first one was from a consignment sale and did the same thing, but I assumed it was bc the people before were rough on him. Now we have two Elmo's that don't work.

There are belts that wrap around each car seat. How shaky it is will depend on how tight the belts are. It will be a little shaky on uneven pavement no matter how tight the belts are.

no- my older son was 22 months when our 2nd was born, we used this stroller for both of them for almost 2 yrs. My older son never had issues in the front seat with the infant carrier or when we switched our younger one to sit up in the 2nd seat.

I have not personally experienced this. However, my good friend transitioned her son at 6 months. She tried cold turkey and he screamed for hours. So she put him in the suit with just leg in and arms out for a few nights zipped up. Then a few nights just legs in not zipped and then a few nights laying him on top. Then took it away. During the whole time she gave him a blanket to hold on to. He now sleeps with his blanket and no sleep suit just fine.

It's not snap in and snap out as other car seats are so you are better off buying 2. On another note, this car seat was in a major accident with my 18 month old granddaughter in the seat. She was so well protected that all she received in the crash was a small cut on her chin. This car seat is worth the money and more!

Oh yeah, definitely time. My baby was a year and she's very tiny, fifteenth percentile, but she fits just fine. Your baby will be a lot more comfortable in a toddler seat. Mine was anyway.

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

Our seat is first generation and they proactively sent out new HUGS pads because children could chew through the first version and choke. I would just ask them to send new HUGS pads, as the previous person suggested. Good luck.

I loved the seat, but only had it for one, and didn't use it for her as a newborn. It's certainly one of the smallest footprint seats I've seen. It would not allow you to pop the seat in and out of the car with the baby in it, which one big advantage of the other sort of seat.

My 2.5 year old sits very comfortably with the car seat in place (she is petite though). She especially loves bring able to see (and poke...) the baby as they are facing each other. This has not been an issue at allfor us.

My baby hates the car seat and the bassinet. I used this snugseat when she was 2 months for my uppababy vista and she loves it. I say give it a try. Every baby is different.

I think it depends on the size of the car seat and also the size of your older child. I find that we have plenty of room with ours (although our 2 year old is small), and my 2 year old loves being able to chat to the baby, although she has to lean forward a fair bit to do it. We have a fairly large car seat and we haven't found this to be a problem.

Honestly, my son hasn't fallen asleep in this chair that I recall. We have had it 2-3 months and our road trips haven't been more than 20 minutes lately. I have seen him close his eyes and rest alongthe side a short bit but never leaned his head forward. I don't think it's an issue. :-)
