Replying to: aaron_t (Jan 04, 2008 11:49 am) The real issue is that all car seats angle somewhat and newborn heads flap around. It even happens when they face forward. The older car seats used to have a recline adjustment but all this LATCH crap hasn't dealt with this problem. My suggestions (from an experienced mom) are to look into one of those double car seat head rings. The inner ring is removable for the bigger baby, but when very little it gives a snugger fit and reduces the head flapping forward. Make sure the adjustment straps on the seat are in the smallest and tight position. This also gives some head support. Some people roll up cloth diapers and wedge them in between the car seat ring and the baby. Also, instead of binders I would use a rolled up towel to offset the angle. In case of an accident that towel isn't going anywhere, and even if it did it would not hurt anything. Besides, it might protect your seat below from spilled milk etc. |

AND the Odyssey, Sienna, Grand Caravan, and Town & Country are the only 2008 minivans that have comfortable seating for 7 adults + sufficient luggage for a week long vacation....unless one gets a gas guzzling Suburban, Yukon XL, Escalade ESV, or Expedition. The Hyundai Entourage/Kia Sedona have very comfortable seats and leg space for driver, front passenger, and 2nd row passengers but the 3rd row seat is too low and has too little leg room for 8 or 9 years old or older. The CUV's from ALL manufacturers have same problem as Entourage/Sedona but are not as easy to get into and have LESS cargo space behind 3rd row.

Replying to: thegraduate (Feb 02, 2008 12:47 pm) Neither the Grand Caravan nor Town & Country is made in Detroit. Both are made in either Windsor, Ontario or Fenton, Missouri.
