car seat
« on: August 29, 2011, 01:23:55 am »
my little one will be 3 months old in a week and she hates her car seat, has been that way since the day she was born, i can remember she cried the whole way home.. anywho I was just wondering what are some tips on getting her to actually enjoy going for a car ride?! or is it just a phase that will eventually pass

Hugs!  It is so hard to drive with a screaming baby in the back :(  Been there!

My DD had a serious hate for her car seat around that age too... all I did was take her for a drive every single day for a couple of weeks and she seemed to adapt fairly well.  She loves her car seat now ;)  Just be sure that you go on short drives - I used to go to the mall, it's about a 10 min drive and she could see daddy when we got there (he manages a store there).

yeah we live in a small town so it really only takes 10 mins to get anywhere which is nice... we go out with her a few times a week but it's hard because she hates it and i don't even wanna know what she's going to be like when it's time for the stroller when she outgrows her carrier

i checked out some of the links and it talks about acid reflex which she doesn't have, or maybe she gets car sick, or just a phase...hope it ends there
