Infant seat for Down syndrome "floppy"

Baby has trisomy 21 and one of the considerations is that many of these babies are floppy, have to do the carseat test to leave the hospital, etc. So I'm wondering what seats are good for keeping those airways open. I haven't had a bucket for the last several babies, had a key fit last for preemies, but have not kept up on what's out there lately.

I would recommend the Evenflo LiteMax etc- same basic seat at different trim levels. They are very "L" shaped, which is the best for babies with tone issues; they allow use of added rolled blankets for support if needed; they fit very small if baby is discharged small; and if, say, baby has heart surgery or a monitor and a chest clip is causing problems, Evenflo is very easy to work with on modifications (you can email Sarah for any accommodations needed and she has a medical waiver for use in those cases.)
