Both my girls bang their heads in their car seats. They both sit on our couch and rock too. I think it's a sensory thing, although DD1 is neurotypical while DD2 is possibly autistic.
It wasn't as big a deal when I had them in Britax RA50's but I got 2 Graco Headwise 70's last week. Now when they bang their heads I hear loud plastic creaking/cracking sounds. I'm kinda worried they'll break the head rest. I really like the seats and want to keep them. But I wonder if they'll hold up to the abuse my girls are giving them.
I'm not worried about needing the extra height or weight of the Headwise, both girls are very tiny. DD1 is almost 4 and has probably a good 3-4 inches left in the RA50, she's 27lbs, DD2 is 22lbs and about 3-4 inches shorter than DD1.
