Maxi-cosi infant carrier - DD head flops forward....
Afternoon ladies
My DD is 4.5 months old and she's quite a chunky monkey so we've had to take the foam wedge out of the car seat. So she's still got the head hugger in but is now sat a bit more upright if that makes sense. The only problem is sometimes when I look at her in my mummy mirror her little head flops forward in the seat (particularly if she's asleep). She looks really uncomfortable and I'm worried it's not good for her neck.
Has anyone else noticed this and what have you done about it? I'm at a bit of a loss really as the infant carrier obviously doesn't recline at all so it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do (aside from buy another rear-facing seat maybe.....? Have been looking at the Besafe Izi Combi Isofix which looks pricey but great)
All suggestions gratefully recieved!

We have this problem too!! Adam is always slumping forward and getting really uncmnfortable. I'd also thought about buying a new seat, but feel a bit annoyed after spending so much on the Maxi Cosi!
I'll be watching with interest to see if anyone has any solutions...

Mrs CP - unfortunately she's definitely slumped forward as a couple of times I've stopped to check on her and her head is forward over her chest. It really worries me as it can't be good for her breathing.
Morello - thanks for the links but I think the foamy thing won't work in my car as we use an isofix base.
So I think my options are to use the base without the isofix fittings (which I'd rather not do as I'm a bit paranoid about incorrect fitting) or investigate a new seat. Have to say Cath, I too am annoyed at the amount I spent on the maxi cosi (and the base! especially as we hardly ever use the infant carrier on the Quinny wheels!!) but to be honest I'd been thinking about getting a rear facing seat for when she grows out of this one anyway so I may just have to stump up the money a little sooner than expected. Off to check some out this morning......
thanks again girls
