You're definitely not alone with this!
I don't think there is anything more stressful then driving somewhere with a little bub screaming in the back seat.
TBH I think when they are little there isn't a whole lot you can do except make sure they have a full, settled tummy before you head off, and aren't overtired or cranky. Organise your trips if you can, when bubby is relaxed as possible.

It's definitely someting they grow out of, and it's great when they are around 3 months-ish and can grap at a little toy.

Hang in there!
