My 3-year-old used to wake up every single time his head dropped forward. First long drive with this and he slept the whole way to my parents' house. Took me about two minutes to get the band on his seat.
Snoozestrap™ Car Seat Head Support
Their head stays upright when they fall asleep in the car seat — no more chin-on-chest naps and no more reaching back to hold it.

How it works
A wide padded pad sits against the headrest of your child's car seat or high-back booster, held on by a black strap that buckles around the back. A separate soft band closes over their forehead with hook-and-loop, so when they doze off their head rests back against the pad instead of dropping forward or to the side.
The band only goes across the forehead — never over the eyes and never near the neck — and it does not touch the car seat harness. Pull the hook-and-loop open and it comes off in a second when they wake up.
Put the pad on the headrest and run the strap around the back.
Close the buckle and pull the strap snug so the pad does not slide.
When they fall asleep, lay the soft band over the forehead and press the ends on.

Questions
What exactly comes in the box?
One padded head support with the strap and buckle already attached, and one soft forehead band. If you order a bundle, you get one of each per unit in the colors you picked. The car seat in the photos is not included.
What age is it for?
We recommend it for kids aged 3 and up who ride in a car seat or high-back booster with a headrest. The forehead band adjusts with hook-and-loop, so it keeps fitting as they grow.
Will it fit our car seat?
It fits car seats and high-back boosters that have a headrest the strap can wrap around. The strap is adjustable, so it works on narrow and wide headrests. It does not fit backless boosters, because there is nothing for it to hold on to.
Is it safe to use?
It is a comfort accessory for naps on the road. The band sits across the forehead only — never over the eyes or around the neck — and it does not go under or change the car seat harness. Keep an eye on your little one while they nap, take it off when they wake up, and check your car seat's manual about add-on accessories.
How do I adjust the band?
Both ends of the forehead band close with hook-and-loop onto the sides of the pad. Press them on a little further for a snugger fit, or further out for a looser one. It should rest lightly on the forehead, not press.
Can two kids use it?
Each unit goes on one car seat. For siblings, the 2- and 3-pack bundles let you pick a different color for each seat, so nobody fights over the pink one.
How do I wash it?
Spot clean, or hand wash gently in cold water with a little mild soap and let it air dry. Close the hook-and-loop first so it doesn't catch on the plush.
When will it arrive?
Delivery usually takes 7-12 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Try it on your next drive. If it is not a fit for your family, message us within 30 days and we will make it right.
What parents say
Real feedback from parents who drive with a sleepy toddler in the back.
Bought it for daycare pickup because she always konks out around four. Her head stays upright now instead of hanging down on her chest. The plush part is soft, no red marks on her forehead.
Does what it says. Only thing is I had to redo the strap once to get the tension right, and once I found the sweet spot it has been perfect. Would have been nice if it came with picture instructions.
We drive Ohio to Florida every winter. This is the first year I was not reaching back to prop his head up every twenty minutes.
Got two, one for each seat. My 4-year-old actually asks for hers now. The velcro holds tight and it has not slipped once.
I was skeptical a band would do much, but it really does keep her chin off her chest. Already washed it and it came out fine.
My son has fallen asleep in the car since he was a baby and always woke up cranky with a stiff neck. Not anymore. Wish I had found this two years ago.
Simple, does one job, does it well. Fits our Graco seat with no trouble and comes off in seconds when we need to wash it.
