got m's new car seat, graco comfortsport convertible. Installed rf & what appears to me correctly; but her head flops over so when she sleeps. I realized we've never had a convertible before, the boys went from bucket to ff. What do you do about the flopping?

It needs to be reclined more. Use a towel or cut-up pool doodle to get it reclined so her head doesn't flop.

thanks. i do have a towel at the seat crease; if it reclines any more it will be out of the green zone for the level indicator. i'll see if i can play with it more. she's really okay to ff, i just wanted to leave her rf for a little longer if possible.

I left Remy RF til he was almost 2 and then M moved him FF. It's safer, but M thought his legs were cramped :rolls eyes

Do you have one of those side-pillows for the seat? It should have a flat part for her head to sit on and then cushions around, like this one (only the one I had was just the head not the full body): http://www.mypreciouskid.com/infant-car-seat-cover.html

the seat has one sort of like that in it already. I may just have to get something "poofier" lol

Yeah, the ones you can buy are better (imo) than the ones that come with!)
