Lo hates his car seat

He SCREAMS from point A to B every. single. time. He does not fall asleep. He screams and screams... And it's not just while in the car, in the stroller too... So I can't go to stores unless I wear him (which is so hot to do right now!), or else he will scream. Does this get better???? It's like if I'm not holding him, he's crying... He doesn't even nap at all during the day until like 4. (Unless I hold him) it's driving me insane! I can't just sit on my couch all day. I have to leave the house sometimes, I have house work and laundry to do, and a 7 year old. Help! :(

  • We call our carseat the "chair of despair" i wish i could say it gets better but i dont know... My now 2 yo was exactly like you describe, so i just started wearing him ALL THE TIME! I never put him down, he slept with me, hung on me, and in the car i drove fast and touched him as much as i could...
    With my new guy its all just normal now to wear him and keep him as close as possible all the time... Just take cues from baby and go with the flow, they are all so different and need different things...
    Good luck!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

  • No advice, I just wanted to sympathize because my LO is the same way!! Screams bloody murder whenever she's in the car or stroller. I think MH and I are just getting better at tolerating her screams. Here's hoping things get better!
