Head slump, car seat!
Has anyone safely fixed the issue of babies head slumping in the car seat. The car seat is for the right age, weight, etc. But my babies head keeps slumping forward when he falls asleep this is the 2nd time it's happened and it's really worrying me and making me so anxious I don't want to drive with him in the car.

Do you have pics of when first putting baby in car seat, then once slumped? I can help see if it's a fit issue then. What seat do you have?

When this happens to me it’s usually a fit issue - e.g. the head rest needs raising, or his clothes are getting in the way of him sitting back in the seat properly (like if he’s wearing a hoodie and the hood is bunched behind his neck etc) x
If the fit suggestions don't help, a last resort is to use the car seat with the seatbelt instead of the isofix base as you can usually get a better angle on the whole seat that way. It's just as safe as long as you follow the instructions properly.
