I happened across this really cool head rest while on facebook recently. It's original intent was for keeping kids from collapsing into a ball while sleeping in their car seat. But the momma who designed these has had special needs parents, like me, asking her to make one for them due to their little ones lack of head control.
While the headrest isn't perfect, because nothing involving Liam ever is, it has been a huge help keeping Liam positioned in his car seat. I'm usually having to reach back while I'm driving to help reposition him but when he has this support on he sits pretty well and I can focus on driving!😨
He didn't like it at first because we all know Liam doesn't like changes. And to him this was a big one. It took him a few days to get used to it.
Sherri is the momma who started making the Sleepy Time Headrest and she personally called me to talk to me about making one for Liam. She was more worried about making sure it worked for us than she was about selling her product.
You can check them out on facebook or visit Sleepy Time Headrest to learn more. It velcros closed under the chin and with Liam being such an avid thruster, I was concerned it wouldn't hold but it's done a great job and hasn't broken loose once. It's even been crash tested!
It's not usual to find a product for special needs kids that is this affordable!
Traveling with Liam is hard and until we can get a handicapped van, I'm thrilled to have something to keep us going with the vehicle we have. ❤
