I was just reading a review on BRU on one... (that was purchased seperately- not the one that "came" with the seat) and it said it was comfy but wasnt to be used while driving since it could interfere with safety...

You should use the one the came with the seat, or nothing at all. The seat isn't crash tested with an aftermarket add on, so it isn't always good to have them.

Re: Ya know that head rest thing...
Awww look how little he is!!  Stonybrook wouldn't let me leave with the headrest in Emma's seat (even though it came WITH the seat). They said it wasn't safe. Of course I used it when I got home. I would call Graco and see if you can buy a replacement one

We needed it and the car seat I bought didn't come with one. We bought one at BRU. It wasn't very expensive at all.

No. You can use rolled up receiving blankets instead.

I agree. Stony Brook Univ. made us take the head rest out and use rolled up blankets.
