Question Im baffled...2 weeker doesnt look right

[HaileysMommy]

I have limited experience with newbies in convertibles. I helped a friend get her Scenera in for her newbie. And newbie is too small. Harness above her shoulders and the harness doesn't go tight enough. So I'm lending her my MySize til babe grows some (currently 7#14 and 22"). And I think the MySize might be too big for her. The harness was a touch above her shoulders and I'm worried about head slump. The seat installed like a dream and is as reclined as it can go. What do you guys think? I didn't get a pic of the harness slot bc it's hot as hell here and I wasn't going to make them wait any longer to get going. At least babe is leaving safer than she came.

Eta: totally forgot the infant inserts at my house. I don't think the MS insert pushes them up does it?

Eta2: just looked at pics online and I see that the MS comes with an insert under their butt. I traded for this seat and I don't think this piece was included grrrrrrr

Might need a noodle for recline...? And yeah, if you can get your hands on the infant insert, that might help with the harness fit.

The ball is in the green as far back as it can go. Is her head slumping or just to the side? It's hard to tell :-/

It looks like she's just tipping to the side, but it is kind of hard to truly tell.

Yeah, that looks okay to me. To me, everything looks like their heads are falling forward when they're that little because they have no neck. Their chins are ALWAYS on their chest, you know?

I would check her breathing when her head is like that. Is there any grunting or snoring or "cute" noises? Here is a video with what restricted airway breathing in a newbie sounds like.

Omg that's freaking scary as hell. I'm about to become a babywearing educator and that broke my heart.
