I have a stroller safety question. Not sure where to list it...
I have a valco baby double stroller. Valco baby says that the seat reclines far enough back for a newborn to be put directly in the seat.
Because I thought it might be more comfortable, I was considering purchasing this seat pad/head-hugger thing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004HEWT9A/ref=pd_aw_sim_ba_2?refRID=0NZ8RYAQDJ03BE7FM5YV
But my car seat fanatic brain gets nervous with any aftermarket products, even though this isn't for a car seat and this one is made by the stroller manufacturer. Can she suffocate if she has a head-hugger thing in the stroller? I also hear that the head-hugger things are necessary for tiny babies in strollers because they need the neck support. So I am feeling confused and caught in the middle -- is a head-hugger safe? Required? Recommended? Useless? Unsafe?
Just want to do the right thing. I'd like to get some kind of seat pad because the stroller is black and the baby will be born in the summer. But the head-hugger thing is a total mystery to me.
