Here is my daughter inthe Frontier 85. She has horrible head slump and I am not sure if there is anything I can do. Please, I am open to any and all suggestions.

Can you lower the harness at all? I've found the closer I have it to my DS shoulders the less slump he has. I think it helps for him to lay his head on the side wings better.

Also, check your van's manual. If it's ok to recline the seat more I'd do that a notch or two as well.

I will give that a shot. I am willing to try anything at this point. We will be commuting back and forth between Austin and Houston (3.5) hours at least 2 times per week and I can see that this issue may put us both in a bad mood.

I would check her crotch strap too. Make sure it's nice and close. It looks to me like she might be slouching down into the seat.

It looks like the harness might be able to come down a notch. Bringing those headwings down a bit might help. As well, try reclining your captains chair a smidge. :thumbsup:

it really REALLY looks like the harness is too high... we could be wrong, but there you are.

if nothing else, roll up a towel/blanket and put it between her head and shoulder once she's asleep?
