Head Slump in FF Boulevard

How comfortable is the boulevard for a FF child? Do the wings push the child's head forward? Is it difficult for them to sleep without major slump? Any pics of FF kids in the BV would be awesome, too.

No pics, but we've been dealing with major head slump no matter what I do. Some days he does just fine and others I have to pull over and fix his head :(

I'd love to hear any tips - that's one of the things I hate the most about this seat.

No head slump with ours....whether FFing or RFing, her head never falls forward in the Blvd!

This is an older pic, shes RFing again now but was FFing in this pic in a 99 Oldsmobile Alero.

Depending on what you drive, you might be able to pull the base of the BV forward just a bit, which will help encourage the natural recline the BV offers. (hope that makes sense). You just need to make sure the base of the BV is still completely flat on the seat, and that there isn't a huge gap behind the BV (a little space is fine). You can try doing this and then post pics so we can verify that all still looks good.

My DD is very comfortable in the Blvd FFing. The seat is pretty reclined. I think it really depends on your vehicle and whether you can get the seat reclined or not.

We sold our Blvd, but had it forward facing for a while. Never had any head slumping issues with it - RFing or FFing.
