Legs falling asleep RF

So today when we got to the store (25 min or so because I did a quick recycle drop off) DS2 cried to get out of his seat and then wouldn't walk and cried "foot owie, foot owie". After 5-10 min he was okay. Same thing when we got home only that was a shorter ride (15 min). Cried and cried and cried and sat there holding his foot. The only thing I could think of was that his foot/legs had fallen asleep in the car seat. He's got plenty of leg room, he rides in an XTSL. No way would I even consider turning him, he's 2 1/2 but only 24lbs. Tiny little stick boy.
So what can I do? I hate for him to be in pain like that but he's gotta ride in the car sometimes!

How is he positioning his legs in the seat? I know that if I sit in certain positions too long my feet start to fall asleep. If he is crossing them, maybe that is causing his foot to fall asleep or his legs could be falling asleep if he is dangling them over the sides. Try showing him a few different ways to put his legs to see if he can find one that is comfortable for him.
