Car Head Strap Support

Description:

Long car rides, low muscle tone, fatigue, or neck instability can make it hard to keep your head upright, especially when sleep kicks in.

This adjustable head support band is designed to gently support the head and neck, helping prevent the head from dropping forward while resting or travelling as a passenger. Originally popular for children who fall asleep in the car, these bands have also been used by young people and adults who need extra neck support due to muscle weakness, nerve injury, fatigue, or recovery from illness or injury.

The soft padded cotton support sits comfortably across the forehead, while the adjustable elastic strap allows you to find a fit that feels secure without being restrictive. Available in a range of fun, friendly designs, this is a practical support tool that doesn’t look medical or intimidating.

While commonly used for children, this head strap has also been used by adults, including wheelchair users and people rebuilding neck strength after neurological or spinal injuries, or managing conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and neck instability. As with any support aid, ongoing or frequent use should be guided by your medical team.
