I couldn’t count the amount of times Finn has fallen asleep in the car and at almost 4 years old he still has days he will conk out in his car seat (after a big adventure). In fact for a while there, it was the only way we could get that little man to sleep (and he’s still a shocking sleeper!).
Falling asleep in the car meant that I would be pulling over continuously in just the one trip to adjust his little head so that he didn’t hurt his neck. We all know how painful it can be when we fall asleep with our necks out of shape (like on a plane) and wake up with that awful cramp. It can make for some extreme grumpiness as well!
Not only that but pulling over all the time was tiring and it is often hard to find spots to pull over, especially driving down the freeway (and it can be dangerous for drivers too).
The Cozy Dozee is a wonderful innovative product that has pulled all these concerns together to make something that is focused on comfort for our little ones. Essentially what it is, is a head support for when our little one’s fall asleep in the car and it is considered an “add on” car seat accessory. It is 100% Australian owned and manufactured and comes in a range of lovely colours and designs made with great quality and care.
The instructions are easy to follow and the product is easy to put on to your car seat with a few simple clicks. You do have to pull over initially to bring it down over your child’s forehead once they are asleep but after that you can drive knowing your child is comfortable and their sleep isn’t disturbed.
The Cozy Dozee has also gone through vigorous car crash testing and passed those tests with no indication it has any further impact on a child in an accident than without the accessory. It has been endorsed by the former engineer of Britax- a well-known car seat brand. It has received rave reviews from parents across the board for helping their children sleep more comfortably. The Australian Child Restraint Resource Initiative also wrote a wonderful review of the Cozy Dozee stating that it was indeed a great product after initially questioning its safety.
The main point to note about the Cozy Dozee is that it is NOT a safety device. It is an accessory that has been made to support children’s heads to give them a better quality of sleep in their seats and avoid parents from distractions while driving.
This product doesn’t come without it’s criticisms from some who deem it unsafe and a lot of those comments come misinformed. I encourage people to make an informed decision about any product they are looking to purchase for their little ones and all the research and results can be found online at www.cozydozee.com.au.
I love the idea of the Cozy Dozee and I have already had friends tell me how they wish they had known about it sooner! I feel very comfortable with the quality and the comfort it provided my little man after years of him falling asleep and his little head flopping forward and I was reassured by the research and testing the product had gone through.
