Wont Go In The Car... Help

[Mel09]

I need ideas... advice.... HELP!

Tahli now 11 weeks wont go in the car without screaming, and I mean screaming... she'll start within a few minutes of being put in the seat, and wont stop for at least an hour unless the trip is short and she gets out. she tends to settle once out within 10 mins, but mostly ends up unsettled for the rest of the day.

I have tried trips on a full tummy, ready for a sleep, happy and playng... I have toys, I've hed no toys, I try glyceron on her dummy and NOTHING has worked. I feel like I can't go out as its too stressful... I need to get out with my kids, i feel like I am going insane...

Hmm... our DS always hated the car too.

How about hanging up a mirror so she can see herself?

i was going to suggest the same thing, you can get large-ish ones designed for this problem from baby bunting i think, worth a try

[Mel09]

Do you mean the ones that go on the head rest?

[Olive]

so she can see you! have you tried some of you clothing over her so she can smell you?

My first DS was a shocker in his car seat too, I feel your pain! He was only happy if DH was driving and I could sit in the back with him. Not very helpful when DH isn't there! He really only stopped complaining when he was old enough to face forward in his seat.

Have you been to the chiro in Boronia with her recently? Maybe it's that something is out and she is uncomfortable in the seat?

Yeah she only saw Adam last week, and he is really happy with her, said that she's the best that he has seen so far...

I was thinking bout trying a capsule... I have a friend willing to go halves in the Unity Carrier by safe n sound... not the old fashioned one...
