is there anything that's safe to add on to the carseat to keep his poor little head from falling over when he's asleep? I have my 9 month old rf in a FPSV which is pretty much at the full 45 degree angle. It doesn't always fall over, just sometimes. I've seen a lot of products out there, just wondering if any of them are ok?

In what way is it falling over? Are you talking tilting to the side, or directly chin to chest? (straight down)
Going slightly down and to the side is fine, but if it's bothering him than your best bet is to roll up some receiving blankets the way you did when he was a newborn and just put them beside his head for support. If it's going straight down, then I would double check the angle, because that's typically how kids who are too upright fall asleep.

At nine months I wouldn't worry too much. You can use receiving blankets along side the head, but there isn't anything I'd use front to back. He'll pull his head up if he's bothered. His neck won't hurt like ours would. We just think it should.
