One of the pregnancy boards I post on had a question about infant headsupports today. I replied about aftermarket products and provided a link with what all the different manufacturers say about them. The lady seems to be ignoring my advice however as she has only responded to the people replying that have positive things to say about them. The thing I was wondering though is another poster on there mentioned that when she went to pick her brothers baby up at the hospital they would not let her leave with the head support in the carseat. While I think it is great that they did that, their reasoning was that it increases sids. I have never heard that and don't know how that is possible. A baby should not be sleeping in a carseat unless supervised by an adult.
I have also heard and believe it was actually posted somewhere here a few days ago about the headsupports causing neck issues. I have never heard that until then. I did some research and came up with nothing on it. I'm pretty sure the poster of that message is also on the pregnancy message board from above, though due a different month. She posted the hospital this study came from and I still couldn't find it, she was unable to find it as well. Someone on that other thread said that their safekids no longer recommended them, but didn't say why.
Have any of you heard these and can you provide any sites that show why these are risks. The ss1 I have for this baby came with one that I plan to use, but if someone can show me it is unsafe I will have no problem removing it.
Thanks
