Hamax Sleepy/Siesta child seats

Mister Paul

Does anyone use either of these? Are they worth it for the recline function?

We have a Hamax Kiss at the moment. It's fine except for when the boy falls asleep, when his head falls forward. I'm wondering whether it may be worth changing it, what with summer and lots of longer rides coming up. But I don't want to unless they tilt far enough back for him not to end up banging his head against my back when he's asleep.

I have one that reclines, although the brand escapes me at the moment - and my daughter still slumps forward when she falls asleep.

I think the key is not in the recline function, but if the back of the seat has a 'cut-out' or recess for the back of the child helmet (assuming they are wearing one) - the main problem my daughter has is that she can't put her head back properly with her helmet on.

I think there are seats out there with this design consideration and imo this would be better than looking specifically for a recline function.

The Hamax we have does have a cutout for his helmet. He still slumps forward.

oh right - well I'm glad I found that out as I was considering changing ours to one with a cutout!

I that case I guess we can help each other save some money

mine reclines and she still slumps forward (and it reclines a fair bit!)
and yours has the cut-out and he still slumps forward

their's not much point in either of us changing I would imagine!
