Did anyone have this problem regarding the carseat?

Hi,

We have the graco metrolite stroller/carseat combo...and the carseat sits at such a straight angle if that makes sense, so its almost as if he's sitting straight up on car rides..this causes his head to snap forward and I HATE it. I can't travel like that.

Did anyone experience this?? It looks as if we have it set up 100% right, and there is no way for it to recline...

Target sells a head support that looks like a mini boppy that holds their heads. I think Eddie Bauer makes it. Works great with my DD

I hate that...it makes no sense to me except there must be some sort of safety at that angle rather than a fuller recline. My son just got out of the floppy head stage where I feel like I can ride in the front seat when my DH is driving. Before that I would sit in back and push his head back alot.

We had the police dept install our carseat for us and they said the angle of the seat is crucial. They had to shove several foam things into the seam in the seat to get the seat where they thought it should be. They should be reclined not sitting straight up.
