  If your car seat allows it per the car seat manual, try adjusting the seat to a different setting. We found that our daughter likes the setting that leans back a little more.

  I know it sounds hard but letting it take a half hour just gives her a feeling of power.  Bounce bounce to the car we go!  Fly UP! Fly IN! (and then fast as lightening you get the harness over the shoulders, snap snap click click and call it a day

  I don't offer a toy until the kid is strapped in.  Honestly, if my kids fight I say "You're getting strapped in.  You can either help or I'll do it anyway".  Sometimes that means I pin them down but usually they listen because they know I'll follow through.  I'm not sure how she has time to get to a standing position.  I start strapping right away by that age.

  She turns the second I put her in. She is one strong baby even my husband struggles putting her in the car seat. The second we put her in she turns her body and stands so we can't strap her in. I'm not exaggerating the last time it took thirty minutes which is way too long.

  Hate to say it but you're not being forceful enough.  Grab under her arms and under her knees, bend her a little in half and put her in.  As soon as her butt hits the seat you put one arm forcefully (but not roughly, of course) right across her torso  You ARE stronger than she is
