How do you support toddler's head in umbrella stroller?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi, I rarely use my stroller with my toddler, we mostly babywear, but there are a few rare occasions when we stroll. Unfortunately, our stroller doesn't recline for him to nap. What do I do to support his head in the stroller when he falls asleep? Just wondering if anyone has any DIY tricks they could share!
Thanks

We usually have a coat/sweater or something with us. We roll it up and pad one side of the frame with it. Our kids tend to flop to one side when asleep.

Usually once they are asleep they are fine but DS in particular likes a bit of padding as he is trying to nod off.

My kids never seemed to have a problem turning their heads to the side of the stroller and falling asleep that way. It might have looked uncomfy to us adults, but they never had a problem with it.

This is why I paid up for a Maclaren Volo stroller (retails $99). It's lightweight and the back mesh is long enough to support the child's head during sleeping. A pet peeve of mine is seeing children asleep in cheaper stroller and their necks looking uncomfortable. Nothing worse than waking up with a kink in your neck.

Maybe you can find a gently used one on craigslist.
