Hey does anyone else have this issue with child’s head falling backwards in car seat? I can only find tips on head falling forwards but this keeps happening, tried all the neck cushions! TIA!

I would highly recommend this Facebook group. The admins are all trained carseat specialists who will be able to advise on suitability and fit of car seats for all ages. They can back up all advice given with evidence, so you can be sure of the most up to date information and guidance.

Looks like a Cybex seat, does it have the "reclining" headrest? You could try to recline it and see if that helps.

Otherwise just maybe try to encourage her to lie her head against the side of the headrest?

I don't think it's considered an issue as such when they do this, it just looks weird!

It's hard to tell but the headrest does look like it might be a bit high. The bottom of it should usually be level with their chin.
