seatbelt question to parents

By bibo

Well, on the way home frorm school my son who's 4 always wants to nap. I have no idea how to keep him safe.
He begs me to remove his seatbelt and lay down on the back seat but I refuse and he ends up sleeping seated, with no proper support for his neck.

This must be basic guidance for some of you, but I am clueless here.

a booster seat alone won't help,

so maybe yes, I should try the travel pillow idea with a booster seat!

Thank you... heading to baby shop this afternoon ;)

Better he sleeps with a seat belt and no head support than without a seat belt squashed on the road under your car.

try giving him a travel pillow to support his neck while he's asleep in his car seat, i think that is safe and comfortable for him

There are car seats available for kids with different age group, which can be seated on the car seat and put the seat belt over it. This is the safe way to seat kids in car. Just putting seat belt like adults are not safe for kids. Those types of car seats are available in carrefour and other similar places.
