We're taking our, now 2 month old, to Moab. It's a combo of takin' out and having those little things on the sides of their heads. She's 2 months and easily holds her head up now.
They'll just sleep with the rocking motion.
She has already been on very very mild stuff but if you take care care it's no different than being a little older. Actually I think is a little better because with the infant seat I can have the seat laid down more with the little pillow things on each side of her head.
When they are little older in a regular child seat and they go to sleep, their head hangs down and you worry you are going to snap it off when you do start over an obstacle. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Your making me cringe a little bit here. A two month old does not have enough neck strength to hold her head up against sudden movement. Even with pillows, you are still going to get a head jerk of you misjudge a rock ledge, etc. I've done it bunch of times. You're think you've got something cleared, no problem. Then WHAM, you get a jolting wake up call. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does... Anyway, I think the lying down/reclined position is definitely safer because most of the jolts are downward.
