Babies: 3 - 6 Months

3 month old still *hates* the car- has anything helped??

dd#1 didn't mind the car.... she didn't sleep but she didn't cry either. dd#2 is a different story! She is such a clam, chill, and content baby until she gets in the car. Then she screams.... the entire time. It makes for some awful driving. She doesn't really mind her car seat, bc she sits in it for walks... it's just the car.

Did anyone else have this problem and did you find a solution? Toys that hang from the handle? A mirror? We're desperate over here!!

thanks!

  • Radio static. DD1 HATED the car. The only thing that calmed her was radio static - we turned it up loud enough to drown out everything, and then as she started to quiet we gradually turned it down. Eventually she'd fall asleep and we could switch back to music.

    Up until this week DD2 has been fine in the car. Monday she decided to scream like she was being tortured, so I turned on the static and she was out in 60 seconds.

  • i second the tiny love arch! we had the same issue and hes been scream free 
    (for the most part) since we got it!
  • I use a white noise app on my phone.  When she starts getting upset, I turn it on and just sit it in her carseat.

  • I tryed toys, music, mirror, you name it and nothing helped. We tried switching him into his covertable car seat when he was about 4 1/2 months and its made all the difference! it deffinatly isn't as easy as the infant car seat, but I'd take a happy baby over convenience. The convertable car seat is much more open and he can see out the windows much better. Hee now watches the world go by happily insead of screaming like hes on fire.
  • Thanks girls! I bought the tiny love arch... if that doesn't work, we'll try white noise :)
