Baby HATES carseat

Hi ladies! My LO absolutely hates the car seat. When we get in the car she freaks out creaming and crying. It does not stop...the longest we have gone is 20 min before giving up and pulling over. This happens every time we get in the car with the exception of twice because she fell asleep after I prolonged her nap for as long as I could. I live ina small town so anywhere I need to go for shopping is at least 45 min away and I cant go alone because she loses it so badly. She is 3 months old and it has not gotten any better. I have a 16 month old as well and between my older daughter not being able to walk with us without running off and my double stroller not fitting in my car, and my LO screaming so badly she starts hyperventilating...I am stranded at my house all day while DH works. I cant go anywbere during the day. I want to go to the park, grocery shop and go to doc visits alone but I cant. It doesnt seem safe to pull over on the freeway constantly to calm her only to have her start up again as soon as she is back in her seat. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I could use all the help I can get.

    I don't have any answers, but mine does the same thing! She will scream so hard it sounds like she is struggling to breathe. Nothing makes it better besides getting out of the car. No answers, I usually just have to deal with it and I can see her and know she's okay. Plus, if she's screaming, she must be breathing!

    Im so sorry, Its hard. I bought a very large mirror so she can see me, it seems to help a little. I also bought a portable white noise machine Im hoping will help.
