We did too, If you put a blanket in the seat before putting in Daylin in this 
might help to align the neck.  Also if you are using the base make sure the 
base is level I have a 2x4 wedged in the seat before the base is belted in.  
The police around here
use those noodle floats to level the base.  I also think in some stores they 
have a neck pillow for infants but if you have a thin blanket you can roll it 
and place it behind Daylins neck.
