They must exist, right?

My turns-to-rubber-when-he-sleeps little guy had no issues with head slump in it. It was installed in recline mode, and the vehicle seats had a bit of natural recline to them.

3 years old. Yes, the chest clip is low in the first one. For lurkers -- the chest clip should always be in line with the armpits. Grandma put him in.

Now, with those three pictures, there are also my fair share of pictures of him in the GN where he has head slump. ETA- Ok, so I blocked his face, but I promise, he really is sleeping in all three pictures.

Thanks. I'm hoping if I can see some pics, I can figure out a way to adjust ours to "fix" that.

My oldest has never had an issue with head slump... I will see if I can find a pic for you!

I think a lot depends on where the head hits the wings, too. Even in these 'no-slump' shots - the ones with the headrest higher makes them appear a little slumped.

I squeezed out every last hair of harness height for Ryan before moving him up.

Yeah, in my pictures he was in that awkward stage of, "Alright. The harness needs to go up a notch, but now it looks silly because the head rest isn't surrounding your head..."

I don't have a picture of my 3yr old sleeping in hers, but she doesn't ever have the slump.

I think the head slump issue comes from the child's proportions.... my 4.5yr old has never had head slump.... my almost 3yr old who likes to "ride" in it in the living room when i clean it has horrid head slump. It seems that my 4yr old's neck is longer, so the back of his head is well past the bottom of the headrest. My other son when everything is adjusted right has slump because the middle of his head hits the bottom of the headrest. He looks downright uncomfie. He has a short neck... heck he's short in general

Just a thought on what may be causing it.... maybe recline the seat and your seat back a little and see if that helps. I don't have pics of my DS sleeping in it because he rarely sleeps in the car.

Thanks. I can't recline the seat backs though. They're bench seats in a suburban.

DS rarely sleeps in the car anymore since we got the GN so I can't tell you if this was a fluke that there was no head slump.
DD has used the GN a few times and the head slump is horrible.

No pictures of either of them sleeping, but A had no head slump and C always has head slump.

See, in my car I noticed the opposite. C had really bad head slump and was a tiny bit below the slots, so I moved it up to be safe and it stopped.

Both of these were taken last summer:

18mths, bottom slots

3yrs, 3rd slots...i think...they could be the 2nd slots

My youngest had terrible head slump after we first got the GN, but now she sleeps just fine in it.

Awww. I love the pic with his elbow on his knee. So cute!

I appears we're going to the inlaws today so maybe the girls will fall asleep and can try again. I guess I does of Benadryl before we leave their house wouldn't be nice....
