Does your LO still hate the car?

Tell me there's hope please. I can't remember when DS stopped screaming in his carseat. How old was your LO when they didn't hate the car anymore? (If they hated the car, obviously)

My first?  1.5 when we reluctantly switched to FF

Little guy is still screaming like mad!

we found out that if we don't sit in the back with her, she does SO much better. if she can see us, she wants out! we also have to hold her paci in a lot, which is a pain from the front seat, but if she's not screaming!

For Thanksgiving we taveled by car 9 hours each way - now she sleeps almost every time she's in the car - it is SO much better than screaming every time.  I think the amount of car time made her used to it?  She's 4.5 months.

Good luck!

DD #1 was 18mos.  DD #2 is still screaming away.

Still screaming.  I might go mad if this continues much longer.

I'm suprised so many babies hate being in the car.  My DD loves to ride. shes usually asleep in no time at all.

When DH and I go somewhere, I sit in the back with her. Otherwise she cries.

When it's just me and her, she cries sometimes, but will sleep depending on how far I'm going.  I usually just turn the radio on and that will calm her for a bit.

We just recently switched to a convertible carseat because LO seemed to hate the bucket so much, he'd scream the whole time! Now he gets fussy at the beginning but passes out pretty fast. I think the convertible carseat gives him more room to stretch out.

DD HATED!! her infant seat, so we made the hard decision to switch her to her convertible seat when she was about 2 1/2 months old. It made such a HUGE difference on even the first day. Now we have no car seat issues at all.

Ditto PP. Switched DS to a convertible car seat at 2.5 months and he rarely screams now.

i try to give Eme toys and a paci this will occupy her..for a lil while! she seems to be getting better, now she can lift her head to see out the windows. at night its worse i think because she cant see anything! ive heard once they get turned around its much better. heres hoping!!
