Sleeping in a booster

Do any of your kids sleep better in boosters than harnessed? DD1 is prone to head slump on the rare occasion she sleeps in the car. I caught her starting to doze recently on a 400 mile trip, then her head popped up and she started asking non stop questions for the next 300 miles while her sister slept. She is getting a booster for her 5th birthday probably a Monterey.

She's in a Frontier 85 now, the slump isn't nearly as bad as the Maestro but she still slumps.

My 8 year old is a HORRIBLE booster sleeper. It's like he loses all muscle tone and flops into himself. We are still on the hunt for the perfect booster that he sleeps well in. So for my kids, no, they don't sleep better in the boosters. He has no head slump in the harnesses frontier.

Yep both my girls started sleeping in the car once they got boosters. I honestly can't remember one time them falling asleep in a harnesses seat past 8 months or so

She slept fine RF but FF not so much, which isn't all bad since she is going to be up all night if she takes even a short nap. It would have been nice to have a little quiet time on our trip though. If you have a kid that sleeps better in a booster which one do they sleep best in? It would be nice if she can sleep better when she really needs it.

Vivo was so awesome for sleeping (in a super upright suv bench)... But it probably depends a bit on the car... a click of recline in the captain's chair makes all the difference for most seats, harnessed or booster. Anyway, that's probably why my kids have never had trouble sleeping in the car, we've had the same car for most of their lives, lol.

She usually rides in the captains chairs in the van but I can recline my 3rd row too. She has a Probooster in DH's car and it looks nice and cozy for sleeping but she needs cup holders in my car and preferably latch.
