    DD HATES The Car...

    Im not sure if its her car seat or what, we have the Hipod Milan Convertible Car Seat and unless she is sound asleep when i put her in she cries...a few times she's been happy to sit in it but after 5-10 minutes she starts screaming. It has a toy bar so she has stuff to look at but it doesnt help. Even if im sitting next to her talking to her she still cries...i take her out, console her, then when i sit her back in she cries again!

    How can i help her like the car? Any ideas?

    DS was totally like this. We found that loud heavy music really helped, so I think he had a bit of motion sickness, and thats why he screamed. The girls have never had a problem with the car, so I think its what it was.

    We used to play Ministry really loud and he would be much better - I think it was the beat that was soothing against his seat cos we had a big speaker in the boot, so he could feel the boom boom boom against him.

    Awesome parenting on my part but she actually loves Eminem's new album LOL we bought it about 2 weeks before she was born and its been in the car playing over and over since and ive noticed a few times if i turn it up she calms a little but then i feel guilty like im turning it up to tune her out!

    I found loud music helped too - I think it was something louder than their screaming that distracted them. Go the Eminem if it works

    LOL, don't feel bad about Eminem! If it works, go for it. DD is almost 18 months old and dances to him everytime he comes on the radio.
