hates the car

So for the past month of so my DD has started to absolutely HATE the car.  We never had this issue with DS.  He absolutely loved it, and we would actually try to spend more time in the car because he was always so happy.  

With DD as soon as we put her in the car she starts fussing and b!tching.  It's not so bad to where I can't drive, but it's really hard to listen to her be so unhappy.  Has anyone dealt with this and found a solution?  I really don't want to FF her, although I have a feeling that will make it better, so I'm trying to figure out alternatives.  We are in the car A TON on the weekends, and that's not going to change any time soon.  

TIA!

    When our guy gets fussy in the car, I turn on a Ben Folds CD.  It works every time.  It practically hypnotizes him.  I started doing it when he was itty-bitty and it still works now.  Maybe try different kinds of music (that you can

    My DS was like this too and we are in the car for a lot on weekends.  We agreed to switch him FF but to turn him again if it didn't help and he was still cranky.  Well, no, he is 100% better.  I wouldn't mind the crankiness but with our oth

    Skyler doesn't love the car but a few things help.  Making sure she has her paci is #1, I give her lot of toys one by one and she starts with a few blocks as well.  Also, it's weird, but Alicia Keys turned up pretty loud calms her down IMMEDIATE
