Britax BSafe Question

[lulu21]

Anyone with the BSafe car seat? Did you feel like your newborn was too small for it? Like their head would roll around? We went and got J fitted at the fire station and they said he's fine... But of course I'm a worried mother.

I had a pretty small newborn (6lbs) and never really noticed this. I think some movement in the head area is ok/normal? DD usually has her chin sort of tucked in between the pads of the shoulder harness which seems like it gives her some support as well.

My DD was pretty small and her head always rolled to the side, but it wasn't uncomfortable for her (at least she didnt cry about it). I had friends who would roll up receiving blankets and put them on the other side of the head cushion that came with the seat and would hold up their DSs head that way. I dont know if that's a good car seat practice, but it worked for them.

I have heard this! But don't feel comfortable doing that. We bought the britax head/body support but he was smooshed in it.

This is the car seat that we have. Our 4 pound 4 oz baby fit in it just fine. The nurses at the hospital put in receiving blankets along the sides (where the back and bottom meet).

We have that seat and I remember that DS looked so tiny in it when he was a newborn! We used the newborn insert which helped to keep his head steady. He didn't need it for long.

He does look so tiny. That's why I was concerned.

We have the Chaperone and had the same problem, even though it has padded head wings. I'd stick a rolled up receiving blanket around her head and that seemed to help.

We have the B Safe for #2 so I can't say what I think of it yet. We had a Graco SnugRide for DD1 and she looked tiny and awkward in it but quickly grew into (and then outgrew) it!

My son looks tiny in it too, but doesn't seem uncomfortable if his head goes to the side a little.

We have this car seat too and I felt the same way about how small DD looked in it. She never seemed uncomfortable though and also seemed pretty secure in there so we just went with it.

we have that seat too and I remember being worried about her head rolling all around. she was fine though.
