Troubleshooting
Pillow doesn't stay securely in place.
Ensure the velcro straps are fastened tightly. If the straps are too short, consider alternative placement on the seatbelt or contact customer support.
Pillow feels too bulky or uncomfortable.
Experiment with different placement positions on the seatbelt (shoulder vs. lap) and adjust the tightness of the velcro straps. Ensure the pillow is not positioned directly over the most sensitive part of the incision.
