Ever heard of the Headsnuggler to prevent head slump while your little one is sleeping in his/her car seat?

It's better than some things I've seen. I'm just not sure what effects it would have in a crash. I don't think I would use it.

Very bizarre. Suffocation, anyone?

Just seems...barbaric? I can't place my finger on it.

I did see that once before. I swear it was on here?

I can't see any kid keeping that on their head! I guess you'd have to slip it on once they fell asleep? And, yeah, I'd be worried about crash dynamics, too.

However, there *IS* one case in which I would have considered using that. When DS RF on airplanes, he got serious head slump because the car seat had to be so crazy upright, and it woke him up every.single.time. I've spent entire multiple hour-long flights holding his head back so that he could sleep. I honestly might have used one of those then. Never in a car, though.

Umm...that's just strange looking. Is it just me, or does it look like a really wide piece of ACE bandage? I'm not sure any of my kids would have happily agreed to have that wrapped around their head.

Yeah, we talked about it on here a few months ago, I think. I wouldn't use it, primarily because my DD would scream bloody murder (can't say I'd blame her either... scary looking thing.)

They have crash test videos on their website. Head Snuggler website

DD would hate it I'm sure, but I think I would actually use one on a long car ride if I wasn't driving :p

After watching those crash tests there's no way <snipped for language> I'd use that thing! It looked in the FFing "toddler" seat it pushed the head down into the child's chest.

I wanted to scream! Mainly because she has videos on FB of her 2yo in a backless booster with the belt behind her dancing to music. Or when she's in a harness, it's with a big puffy coat or loose straps. Worst. Seat. Usage. Ever.

I rarely say this, but OMG!
