Babies are the cutest thing in the world and it’s hard not to want to hold them and squeeze them every chance you get. Unfortunately, babies also have a propensity for head flopping in car seats. This can be really dangerous for both baby and car seat, as baby’s head can hit the window or windshield, which can result in serious injury or even death. To prevent this from happening, follow these simple tips to stop babies head flopping in car seats: Make sure your car seat is properly installed. It should fit snugly in the car and be level so that baby’s head is positioned correctly. Use a rear-facing car seat for babies up to about 35 pounds. This will help reduce the risk of head flopping. Use a firm mattress or insert in your car seat. A soft mattress can make it harder for baby to stay stable in their seat and may contribute to head flopping.
What Causes Baby’s Head to Flopp
There are a few things that can cause baby’s head to flop in car seat. One is if the baby’s head is too large for the harness. If the baby’s head is too large, it can move around and make the harness uncomfortable or even injure the baby. Another problem is if there isn’t enough padding in the car seat. If there isn’t enough padding, the baby’s head will bang against the side of the car seat and it can cause pain or discomfort. Finally, some babies have a natural tendency to flop their heads because they’re trying to find a way to get a better view out of their eyes.
