First, consider whether your child should be moved back to a rear-facing car seat, which often provide additional recline and may help prevent your child’s head from falling forward. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children remain rear-facing until they are 2 years old, or they meet the upper height and weight limits of their rear-facing car seat. Next, if you decide to keep your child forward-facing – check to see if his/her car seat offers a recline option, which may help keep your child’s head resting on the restraint. Many forward-facing car seats offer a mechanism to provide a semi-recline for installation. Be sure to check your instruction manual for weight restrictions and proper use of this car seat feature. Finally, if allowed by the vehicle manufacturer, the vehicle seat can be slightly reclined when installing the car seat. Reclining the vehicle seat may also help keep your child’s head resting on the restraint. The installation instructions of both the vehicle and car seat manufacturer must be followed and you must be able to achieve a secure and correct installation.
