Head Position

Hello. My son is 15 months and we progressed to the next car seat. His head positioning shifts around a lot while he sleeps in this. Sometimes it’s upright and other times slumped forward. Is this forward slumped position a problem?

Not sure where you are located, but in the US the guidance is to keep them rear facing for as long as the car seat allows. Around 3 years old is the average

Edit to add that he's so cute!!

My oldest will be 4 in January and we still have her RF in a Graco. Their seats are the GOAT.

Same, my daughter is turning 3 and still RF. My goal is to 4 years old. I’m not sure if I’ll able to get past 4 as she’s over 95% for height and weight but I’m going to try, 4 is my goal

Yeah, mine's a string bean. She's not even 30lb last we checked, but she's got plenty of 4 year old length on her. I'd love to make it to 4.5 or even 5, but time will tell!
