Hi Jac, Oskar was like that when he was really young and would scream the car down! Then he seemed to grow out of it, but now he's a little the same again if he's had enough or is hungry or wakes up and has to go back in the car. Is your DS still rear facing or forward? Oskar is rear, but I've now placed a little mirror at his feet which may or may not be helping... but he seems to be a bit happier?? Just a thought. Hope something helps you soon I know how hard it is to concentrate on driving when you are trying to amuse a bub in the back!
