Re: Carseat repositioning?

[Guest guest]

Hi Marilyn,

I've got two ideas for you. They're not a perfect fix, but they'll

help.

1) get the " Boppy Noggin' Nest " . I ordered it through Amazon for

around $15. It came within a couple days.

2) the PT taught me this one...take your rolled up towel and put it

between the liner and the hard shell of the carseat. I didn't realize

that the covering of the carseat was removeable, but she pulled it

right off and put the towel into position.

....those help pretty good w/the plagio, but if anyone has some better

ideas for the tort...I'm all ears!

Good luck!

Christy,

That's a great idea!!! I sure could have used that advice a year ago! We had a hard time propping his head in the car seat for the tort- and I'm embarrassed to say that we used whatever seemed to make it stay- including a stuffed animal, rolled up towel, and would prop his head and kind of make it work- it usually would if he was sleeping. He did not like the mini boppy, where you can put it around his neck, he hated it and cried and pulled it off. Good luck! I hope Christy's trick works for ya!
