I've seen some parents use one on either side but we only needed one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463563 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:54:51 +0000 kakimochi 463563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, our MIL said the same thing. </p> <p>for our first one, we used a rolled up receiving blanket, but now for our 2nd one who is 1 month, we are using a goldbug 2-in-1 infant head support, i think we bought it for $5 from ross. i really like, and it fits her head just great. i just remember with our first, using the rolled up receiving blanket just got kinda annoying when it unraveled/moved around. glad we got the support. i too was a bit afraid to put anything into the car seat and safety restrictions with our 1st, but with our 2nd one, i think we're a lot more relaxed about the things we do, and we just make sure that common sense prevails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463525 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:02:44 +0000 prettylizy 463525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital fits them with a rolled up blanket before you leave and shows you how to do it properly. Roll them up like tubes and wedge them on either side of her head to keep her from flopping around </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463518 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:57:00 +0000 Weagle 463518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Use a rolled up receiving blanket or burp cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463516 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:55:22 +0000 autumnlove 463516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: We also have a Chicco that came with an insert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463452 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:44:33 +0000 jedeve 463452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: did you just put it behind their neck? Or around their head? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463445 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:39:00 +0000 Sweet T 463445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a rolled up receiving blanket when DS was a newborn. It worked just fine. I didn't feel comfortable using any gear that didn't come with the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463441 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:36:37 +0000 matador84 463441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing in the car seat. Our Chicco key fit came with a newborn insert that supported his head fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463437 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:34:24 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 463437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...nothing in the car seat. It invalidates the safety rating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-head-support#post-463421 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:14:31 +0000 jedeve 463421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL said we needed to buy something to support a newborn's head. I thought you weren't supposed to put anything in the carseat? Are there any ones that are okay? </p>
