Unfortunately that's how my DS looks in any seat he falls asleep in so I'm not too worried that one of our backup seats is a nauti(that I've had for a year and haven't used :whistle:). He's RF in my car and has also ridden in a FF myride recently and his head end up folded over. He's just broken I guess. :p

ETA: Its absolutely terrifying how well the FR in your siggy fits that itty itty bitty!

My kids do the exact same thing. I love the seat otherwise, but it's been relegated to back up duty here as well. :(

Different kid with a neck pillow to try to fix it.

DD's head slump in the XT is the same way (though, oddly enough, not so bad in the 'regular' radians :scratcheshead:) I think I have a picture somewhere on my phone, I'll have to search around for it.

Itseems like she has head slump in everything too though - yesterday she was asleep for 15 minutes and woke up complaining that her neck hurt :( Although DS's head slumps half the time too, and he's RFing! I don't get it.

That's how Libby sleeps in her GN too, and its often that bad if she sleeps in the Frontier too. She has never complained of neck pain though.

That's how C is in the Nauti and every once in a while in the Radian65. This is why when he does get to use a booster, it is for a short one stop errand. Because he can NOT sleep upright. (A on the other hand, turns into a statue when he sleeps and NEVER has head slump.)

My dd's head did that in the GN in harness mode too. At 5.9 years I switched her to booster mode and it hasn't happened since. I would have liked to keep her harnessed but it just wasn't working for us in that seat.

Does anyone know if that happens in the Nauti Elite too? Being that you can adjust the head wings...

We had one for about a week and it kept happening so we returned it. I though it was because of DS's abnormally long head, but maybe it's just a design issue of the seat.

My DS2 never had the slump and we got the seat when he was 5. When his brother got the seat at 4 he had the same head slump as the pic, but now that he's almost 5 he doesn't have it anymore. For us, at least, it's a younger kid thing.

Weve had a nauti for almost 2yrs and never had head slump. My DD was 4 when we bought it and is almost 6 now. She sleeps all the time too.

Rachel rarely falls asleep in the car, but she did last week in a FR85, bench is reclined and that's how her head looked :thumbsdown:
