The true fit is too wide for my kids

I know others have no problem, but my kids are skinny. Or maybe it's just that my kids need sleeping supports. I'm considering selling my true fit, but since I paid more for it than you can buy them new these days, I thought I'd see if I can make it work for us.

The seat is a bit reclined while ffing, which is good, but my ds had to sleep with his arms up on the sides of his head to stay somewhat comfortable, since otherwise, his head would hang uncomfortably, completely sideways.

Rear-facing, the seat has to be in the most upright position, which means my dd's head would fall sideways.

Is there a good head pad or something I could stick in there? The head pad that comes with the seat just pushes the head forward, not add any side support.

I stuck my son ffing in a marathon, which has sides much closer to his head and he slept nicely. I have radians with the body pillow that can be used as a head pillow.

What about a travel pillow around the neck? That wouldn't interfere with the harness. Or even a small pillow or pillowpet that whichever child you decide to put in it can just lean against. On long road trips where sleeping was inevitable with DS, I'd just bring his pillow pet alon and he'd lean on that no problem.

How about [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Support-Pillow-Grass-Menagerie/dp/B004GPB52W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330111475&sr=8-1"]elephant ears[/ame]? They don't attach to the harness.
